“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert
Not only do you see what tiny place you occupy, but you also get to see how someone (or a whole lot of someones) has thought about it and decided to do things differently than you.
Vacation time is a great reminder of just how blessed our little family has been.
We get to chance to be humbled and see our little part in the world and imagine/see how others have chosen a different path.
You don’t have to fly out to Colorado to get a taste of this for yourself.
Have a conversation with someone very different than yourself.
Watch a documentary on how they live in a country that seems impossibly foreign.
Read a blog about how things used to be.
Make it a point to see more clearly your little place in this world. It will be difficult to make an impact in this world if you don’t clearly know where you stand in it.
Make it a great day.
