“Courage is knowing what not to fear.” – Plato
Sometimes taking a break is a good opportunity. Stepping back from something can be the best way to step ahead. The best life example I have of this is cleaning up my classroom at the end of every school year. Think of packing up a classroom as the same as moving out of a house. Every year, I have to take everything in my classroom, and store it inside the cabinets. This is not an easy task, and it takes a few days to finish. It can get very overwhelming at times. All I see at certain points is what I have left to do. Over the last 13 years, I have learned to just step back. I walk away from it for the day. When I come back the next day, I see the progress I have made. I did the same thing as I packed up my house last summer. We had lived in the same house for over 14 years. We had a lot of stuff to get pack up and get rid off. When took that step back for a moment it helped me refocus. I don’t focus on what I still need to work on. This is just one example of how taking a step back has helped me move ahead.
I have taken a lot of photos over the years. It’s hard to post every photo because there really isn’t enough space in life to do so. I found these photos while looking back through some older ones. I took these from around different locations in Charlotte while I was out and about. I have never posted these before. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
