The first thing a man does in the morning is to find out where the train is, and the next thing is to find out where he is~Mark Twain

We obsess over the 'right track' because it feels safe. It’s predictable. But predictability is the death of creativity. When your only concern is keeping the engine moving, you stop seeing the opportunities that exist off to the side. Sometimes, the best move you can make for your business—and your head—is to let the train go on without you for a while

Being on the right track is vital, but stay there too long and you'll miss the horizon. The 4014 'King of Steam' is a powerhouse, but it's a slave to those iron rails.

In life, pulling a heavy load every day might feel like progress, but it eventually stalls your creativity. To keep your vision sharp, you have to step off the steel. Reconnecting with nature isn't a distraction—it's a reset. Don't let the track define your view. Step off and find the beauty that only happens when you're willing to wander. That’s why I enjoy wandering on horseback to see the beauty of nature between two ears.
