Any book may be read, any idea thought, any action taken. Anything that has ever been possible to most of us every time the clock say six in the morning. On a day not different from the one now breaking, Shakespeare sat down to begin Hamlet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each morning we awake to the magnificent opportunity to create our own masterpiece. We get to explore, stretch, challenge, dream\u2026 to go beyond who we were and what we did yesterday\u2026 to take another step further in realizing our extraordinary potential. Robert Smithson, American artist, observed: \u201cObjects in a park suggest static repose rather than any ongoing dialectic. Parks are finished landscapes for finished art.\u201d What we created and finished yesterday was yesterday\u2019s work of art. Today\u2019s gift and promise for us is to go beyond \u2013 be and do something more \u2013 seeing through new eyes possibilities we didn\u2019t see before.
