How big is your wingspan: a commentary

How big is your wingspan? Originally I took this picture because I liked the effect of giving wings to myself, but lately I have thought about the question above. Originally it is intended to measure your arms, but philosophically it could be used to measure your ambition. For the most part, the bigger the wingspan on a bird, the farther and higher it can fly. So the question asks, how far are you going to fly? What are your dreams and how far are you willing to go to achieve them? Every time I see this picture, I am reminded that I cannot just drift through life, I have to put forth the effort to make my dreams happen. One has to strike a balance though, between working toward your goals and doing things that you enjoy now. One of the hardest things for me to do is not to let life pass me by. Take action. Join a club. Hang out with friends. Share the things you enjoy. Laugh out loud. Smell the flowers. Enjoy the good weather while it is here. After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Now I'm going to go take a walk.
