When seeing the first cartoon picture below, you may laugh out loud. It’s so true though, we are used to seek recognitions outside. However, to get to the state you would like to be, the first thing is returning your attention from outside to inside, and connecting with something deep in yourself, as says in the second cartoon picture “Be Yourself”. Knowing who you are and what you would like to do, the next is taking actions right away. Every bit of action counts. When you are doing, you are becoming. It is a two-way loop. Lastly, seek people who share similar motivations and take actions. Encouraging each other and have fun!

The Story of “Mirror of the Sky”
The picture below was taken during a road trip in Utah finding a place called “Mirror of the Sky”. It took us a while to find the place with the official name. It was not here, not there, finally, when we got to the place with the name, we did not see the mirror of the sky effect due to the weather. Although the place in the picture below is not named “Mirror of the Sky”, to me, it is beautiful. This story made me write the poem below.
Mirror of the Sky
So, how to get there
Nothing outside can define
Deep down inside it is
Beautiful and unlimited
You are sufficient
You are already there
No need to look outside
For the endless search and doubt
Turn around
Look inside
Be yourself
Let your essence shine
At present
You are already there
