One more #thoughfuldailypost before I escape into paradise for a long weekend! @Wesphilbin waves the @thoughtfulposts flag for us as the curation account that rewards them thoughtful posts. Please consider delegating if you are the thoughtful type and want to encourage people to share their positivity.

Here are a couple quotes from a couple goats that made me pause, ponder, and discuss for #thoughtfuldailypost. Now with added matched music fun.

# Goals

I am willing to bet everybody I know is well aware of [Bruce Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee). Some consider him the most influential artist of all time and he translated that into a fine movie career as well. So many lessons to be learned all seasoned martial artists but he is one of the best.

Being a competitive guy and business person, I had to chew on the notion that a goal is not always meant to be reached for a while. Why set a goal you know you can't reach? Maybe you can stretch and grow while striving to attain it. Perhaps we simply need to know we underestimate ourselves. I am more of a destination guy rather then a journey one myself. Though I love Faithfully, I like crossing that finish line.

I have also come to believe that a victory is simply preparedness met by an opportunity and the will to make it happen. That preparedness would be the benefits of the journey and that really is the victory.

I suppose to strive boldly could be to determinedly chase a goal that you may not reach. Loving what you have to do, not doing what you like to do. A carrot on a stick or a worthwhile endeavor?

Can't mention Journey without playing one of the rockin'est love songs ever written!

Scientific Poetry

Another man who needs no introduction, Albert Einstein is a theoretical physicist and widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists ever. That is some pretty lofty company.

We are slowed-down light waves. That is a pretty heavy and obscure way to start this one. A walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the music of the cosmos. What are the odds Al dabbled in the @davedickeyyall arts a little along his journey of enlightenment?

We are souls dressed up in sacred, biochemical garments. Pretty spiritual for a scientist! Our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music. As if it couldn't get more eloquently put in a more artistic and universal words. Nothing I could say to add to this eternal statement and I would think that Albert Einstein is as much a poet as all of those other things.

Let's play some music!

I must admit I picked this song before diving into the last quote but I am pretty sure Al would endorse a little Slowhand and Tracy Chapman.

May we all be warriors in the garden and poetic, spiritual scientists! If being thoughtful is up your alley, you have the option to delegate to @thoughfulposts to increase the rewards for positivity. https://hive.blog/introduceyourself/@thoughtfulposts/thoughtfulposts-introduction-or-a-thoughtfuldailypost is the post that started it all way back in 2020!

I invite you to pen your own #thoughtfuldailypost any day of the week and share your insight on the world through your blog.

# Think of the person you know who is both warrior, scientist and poet.
