Day 264 – Another Day, Another Dragon

Everyday is dragon slaying day. When you wake up, you could be looking for that big dragon to slay. Any interesting way to think. Each and everyday you have a dragon perched somewhere nearby and if you really were brave, and if you really want to pursue a noble cause – you would go and take that dragon out.

Do you take on each day, and capture something to go after that is the size of a dragon? Is everyday a mortal combat with a fierce and worthy opponent? Sounds tough, but tough is what causes you to grow and gain strength.

Today I slayed a dragon, it took a heavy price, because many of my other habitual activities suffered. However, as I crawl off to bed wounded from my many cuts and bruises I will smile and be proud of my accomplishment. That dragon is dead.

Tomorrow is 100 days to go.
