Here is today’s prompt for the Trust30 writing challenge.
Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. The force of character is cumulative. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
If ‘the voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tracks,’ then it is more genuine to be present today than to recount yesterdays. How would you describe today using only one sentence? Tell today’s sentence to one other person. Repeat each day
Today’s sentence: Today I changed my life by welding shut a door so that I’ll never be tempted to open it again.
Telling Stories, Asking Questions, Learning Lessons
I think I know what “door” you’re referring to. Congrats and look forward to great things ahead. Glad you guys are here in Austin.
Thanks Darin. I’d like to write a longer post about the “door” soon.
Is it easier to burn a bridge than to weld shut a door? (I guess it would depend on what each were made of…)
Congratulations on your welding. May your cutting torch continue to gather dust. 🙂
Bridges are harder to rebuild than welded doors are to cut open with a blow torch.
Thanks
I think it’s an excellent sentence.
