Maybe we should all be like this snail


 Intimidation? 

Too ambitious? 

Not being realistic? 

Silly? 

Realistically you wouldn’t tell this to a snail, let’s be real, but this photo gave me a feeling of being at the top, having a better view over all. Having a view not many experience, only those who have pushed boundaries (the snail). 

You gain a perspective of the unknown, being able to see wider and further. 

You wouldn’t be able to achieve this view point with giving up, with listening to other people, or that voice sometimes that says it’s too scary or big or wrong. 

I’m trying to peruse this through my work, I always like the safety net of seeing other people’s work, making sure I’m not doing it wrong. But we’re at the level now with freedom in our work, being able to push those boundaries, have crazy theories and still not be wrong. And I’m still learning this, that just because ideas are different, it doesn’t mean they’re wrong, they show people’s experiences, thoughts, feelings and knowledge. We’re all learning, 

Pushing boundaries more often, creates wider understandings of the subject and often yourself, you gain confidence and push a little further next time, getting you closer to goals, eventually you’ll look like the snail.. maybe not physically but definitely above the rest, seeing fat and wide. 

Who wouldn’t want to learn more about yourself, and gain experience on the subject? So maybe next time carry out that idea, expand it and keep climbing, your view will only get better.
