¡Hola! It's a new day. I'm Kim Gaskill, and this is The Daily Sparkle. Have you ever been to the ocean? If you have, what is it about the ocean that you loved the most? If you haven't, you need to get to the ocean as soon as you can. It is an amazing experience just to sit and listen and watch the expanse and the space that you look out upon when you're sitting there at the ocean. For me, It's that feeling of how small I am in comparison to the power and the vastness of the ocean. I'm starting to get a bit restless. I'm moving around pretty good now, and the weather is getting better, so I really want to get over to the shore. I want to get over to the beach. It's, it's my happy place when I'm near the water. And I'm only about 8 miles from the shore. When I lived out here, I would often just drive over to the beach and sit on the boardwalk, listen to the sounds, watch the seagulls, watch the water move in and out. I did some of my best thinking there. When I travel around, I try to get to places that have water. It gives me that feeling of connected. Greatness. What is that for you? What is that place where you feel that way? That you feel that something is bigger than you? It kind of puts you in your place. Gives you that respect. If you're not a part of something bigger than you, you're not challenging yourself. I start a new mastermind today. And masterminds are great if you get into a group of people that challenge you. You should never be the smartest person in the room, and you should never be the least valued person in the room, because you want to contribute as well. But a good mastermind is a good combination of people who complement each other and bring something to the table to challenge each other to be their best, to be better tomorrow than they are today. And so I'm excited about starting that today. And I challenge you, find something that challenges you. Find something that's bigger than you, that makes you see there's more you can do. There's more you can contribute. There's more of you than you think there is, and people are just waiting to see it, waiting for you to share it. So get out there today and challenge yourself, and I'll see you again tomorrow here for another Daily Sparkle.
