Karl Blog: Aude Aliquid Dignum

One friend of mine, Joe Vitale, is in the habit of saying "Aude aliquid dignum!"

Or... "Dare Something Worthy."

Today's post is just a reminder of that. And I'm going to do it by giving a little perspective.

A few weeks ago, I watched the movie Contact, starring Jodie Foster. It's based on the novel by late Carl Sagan. Although I don't necessarily share all of Carl's views, he was a great man... and no matter what he may think, he's somewhere out there :)

The introduction to the movie however included an amazing three minutes of tracking back. From a picture of earth and its various radio signals... out into deep, deep space.

It's staggering -- and it should make you realize that we aren't that big after all.

Our actions really aren't of any real significance.

This blog post is hardly likely to ever go down in history. And as far as the "BIG EVERYTHING" is concerned, Karl Moore is hardly likely to ever really mean anything.

All we're ever likely to be, or do, or anything... is what we be, or do, RIGHT NOW.

So what could YOU dare that is worthy today?

And why not JUST DO IT...

After all, it's really not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

Lloyd Jones said: "If you have tried to do something and failed you are vastly better than if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded."

So go on. Dare something worthy.

Now I'll leave you with my second favourite scene in the movie. The timewarps!
