- Experience 10,000 sunrises
- Share them with 10,000 people
- Make meaningful things along the way
Purpose
My purpose is to immerse myself in beauty and love and share it with others.
I feel a deep connection to God & Jesus Christ. The Sunrise is a symbol for me of that connection and the purpose of life: to grow in light. I feel a continuous call to the morning light. This call first came during a powerful period of spiritual transformation and redemption in my life through the grace and mercy of Christ. Even today, it still opens me up to the goodness of all God has touched. My faith moves me to do this as part of my relationship with all-loving deity.
Why 10,000? The numbers are arbitrary, really. However, they do provide me with a target to aim for. Sometimes, I sit back and imagine, "What would my life look like if I were to watch the Sunrise daily for the rest of it?". Tired, probably 😆, but, likely too, fulfilled and connected 😊. Also, there's an association of 10,000 hours in a practice that leads to mastery, and becoming a master of light and dark sounds epic 😉.
Solo
I document most mornings I go to help me keep track of where I am at in the goal. Many of the sunrises I've watched have been solo. I've found immense value as I commit to getting out of bed and heading out into the dark. I love sharing photos, time-lapse videos, journal entries, and experiences from these mornings on my Instagram account.
Together
I love sharing sunrises with other people (so many good ones on this big rock).
*If given permission, I share posts on my Sunrise Goal Instagram and Facebook profiles of these shared experiences.
Sometimes, I interview my sunrise companions about deeper themes in their lives. There have been impactful and vulnerable exchanges during these exchanges. If you are interested in watching or listening, check out my YouTube channel or my podcast.
Please join me for one (maybe even again if you're feeling it 😆 🌄).
