follow me

someone you know is a leader waiting to happen.

they may not know it themselves, but they're just the kind of person that other people really want to be around, emulate, admire.  it's like that cool kid who doesn't much care if you like him, because hey, he has friends that don't mind it when he dorks out for fun.  they never planned on being a leader.  they never schemed to get to the top.  they just have a charisma that won't let them hide in the shadows.  they have a sense of integrity that won't let them stand by and do nothing.  they have a joy for others that makes them important because they know you're important, too.  they may as well stop fighting it - where they go, others will follow.  so make them get the tools to do it well.

every day is a syk day.

neat-o journeys

someone you know is going on an adventure.

are you jealous?  you might wish it were you, or hope that they fail and land right back where they were before so that you can tell them all about icarus in a roundabout way.  you might need them to stay where you are because you're afraid they'll forget you.  so what?!?  get outta that and get on board with their new exploring.  do some exploring of your own.  bring back the best (and worst) parts of your own adventure and you'll have something to laugh about with them.  whether it's an adventure going over geography, moving through time, or expanding other horizons, jump on and enjoy the ride.  even if it's uncomfortable, as most journeys are sometimes, it'll be awesome.

every day is a syk day.
