Well to put it simply, I see it as a reminder to take a chance, to go beyond what makes us comfortable in hopes of discovering our true calling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is such an excellent representation of sailing, especially as you think about how hundreds of years ago, the sailors who left the harbors they knew ended up discovering new lands. If they had never left the harbor, life as we know it here would look a lot different. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe great thing about this reminder is that regardless of what challenge lies ahead, the words are more about \u003cem\u003eyou - \u003c\/em\u003ewhat \u003cem\u003eyou're\u003c\/em\u003e built for.

It's what changes outcomes - what separates our fears from our hopes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I wrote the card for this ZOX, I wrote it to say the words that are often difficult to say to someone directly: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eI know, it's harder than you expected.

If I'm honest, I'm in the same camp - I think we all are. We're anxious about the future because it's currently unknown. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut in thinking through this, I realized something pretty profound. Apply that same question I asked to the you of 10 years ago, where you today would go back in time 10 years to give \u003cem\u003ethem\u003c\/em\u003e a ZOX as though the you of today becomes the time traveller. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWould you tell them it's going to be okay? I think so - I know I would. The me of 10 years ago had just gotten engaged to Kara. Not only would I go back to say it's just okay, I would go back and shake me of 10 years ago and tell him to stop worrying so much - it's going to be \u003cem\u003ebetter\u003c\/em\u003e than he could ever know. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wrote the card for this design with that idea:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The future you is happy, healthy, and wishing you hadn't spent so much time worrying about all those things that never happened.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStaying optimistic, even in the face of uncertainty, is a real skill. But just like the you of today would tell the you of 10 years ago, it all works out, better than you ever expected. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBig Hugs!\u003cbr\u003eJason","brand":"ZOX","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":48249723126058,"sku":"12-07-23-WB-ORD-0324-1-2-2K-07-S","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":48249723355434,"sku":"12-07-23-WB-ORD-0324-1-2-2K-07-M","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":48249723486506,"sku":"12-07-23-WB-ORD-0324-1-2-2K-07-L","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/6892\/5482\/files\/ItAllWorksOutBetterThanYouEverExpectedOutside_20a5d246-6eda-49a0-9cf2-8527e5940502.webp?v=1714018884"},{"product_id":"never-lose-hope-watch","title":"Never Lose Hope Watchband","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"shogun-root\" data-shogun-id=\"5e449d4a726f0b0067639cd8\" data-shogun-site-id=\"7926eac2-5d57-432e-a16a-ab91f79a5215\" data-shogun-page-id=\"5e449d4a726f0b0067639cd8\" data-shogun-page-version-id=\"5e449d4a726f0b0067639cd7\" data-shogun-platform-type=\"shopify\" data-shogun-variant-id=\"5e449d4a726f0b0067639cdb\" data-region=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"s-4fa3e472-0cd9-4ad1-a953-bd59349ee3ce\" class=\"shg-c\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEvery so often, we have these designs that are just made for all of us.
