Keep the faith, drive to the finish...

So how do you see the journey of bringing a freedom of creativity into your classrooms?
Are you standing at the bottom of a mountain looking up and thinking 'No way!'?
Are you hanging on halfway up thinking 'How did I get myself into this?'
Are you near the top and realising that this was only a small climb and there are more to come that are higher and longer?

Wherever you are keep going!

To the people in the first group this quote from my favourite band in the world - U2 - came to mind:

'Its not a hill its a mountain when you start out the climb...'

Things always look bigger from the bottom looking up! Put it in perspective every journey is a case of one foot in front of the other driven by a desire to finish.

To the people in the second group remember (again U2!)

'Every Nation gets the chance to change the world. Pity the Nation that wont listen to your boys and girls...'

Youve started the climb and now its time to work on and finish. There are worrying moments but ultimately by finishing the climb you are giving those 'boys and girls' the chance to be listened to and drive on their experiences.

To the group at the top looking at the next climb remember (yep U2)

'The sweetest melody is the one we havent heard...'

Look at how far you have come and think about what was unleashed on the journey.

NOW think about what will be unleashed during the next level and drive on!!!

(Lyrics from 'I'll go crazy if I dont go crazy tonight' by U2 from album 'No line on the Horizon')
