Kick in the Rear

"Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way."
-- Baltasar Gracian

I read this quote this morning in something I had recently received and had to giggle. While I do think dreams are of utmost necessity as they can and do guide our direction, a good kick in the buns does help considerably. I have a dear friend (thank you, Donna!) who provides me with a good virtual slap and/or kick in the pants when needed, and I know full well it does take me a long way. Thought I'd share this today in case anyone else needs a virtual "kick in the pants" as well.

  1. Thanks, Karin. This is especially good when you consider who Baltasar Gracian--a Jesuit priest and writer in the 1600's! He is known for his _Art of Worldly Wisdom_. Your selected quote is no doubt a vernacular translation. :) Now, here's a kick in my pants--and back to work!
