Dare Mighty Things

I’m going to have to watch the documentary again because I couldn’t stop thinking about the sign. How inspiring to walk past that every day and be reminded that to achieve advances we must dare to do mighty things. Think of what the scientists of JPL have accomplished:

Before we sailed the ocean, traversed the continent or rocketed to the moon it was new, awe inspiring and daring. They were dreams just out of reach worth stretching for. These daring thought turned into wild plans, new math and technology and eventually, through failures and successes they led to knew normals. We live in a world that has seen people on heavenly bodies, robots on distant planets and yes, Voyager moving into interstellar space. Daring thoughts build new foundations of possibility on which we can stand to see higher and farther. We owe endless gratitude to those who have gone before and given their hearts, minds, talents, gifts and even their lives toward a greater purpose of daring.

What is it that we will dare to become? Dare we stand for equality for all? What of peace where it is lacking? Have we enough gumption to reverse our environmental impacts on a planet that dared to evolve into the diversity of life we have? At each daring inflection point there are those who question. Is it worth the risk? Will it matter? Will it make a difference? There is a comfort in the known from which we all benefit. There is safety in sameness. More and more I find the desire to do my small part to dare something mighty in how I life my life to turn a less trodden way into a more possible road for all. Maybe it’s time to consider a mighty thing worth daring.
