Tonight I heard an excerpt from Lord Alfred Tennyson’s Ulysses, and am inspired anew:
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Emphasis mine.
As the year concludes, and the new one begins, I’m reminded of my primary goal in life: to inspire and be inspired. It is in this spirit that I share this moment of inspiration with you all.
May the New Year find and keep you inspired!
