you carry deep longings, creative promises, ancient whispers
you carry greatness
you want to tap into it, you want to access it now,
you want to have arrived, to be the fullest you that you will ever be
but some of that inner gold can only be found on the other side of crucibles
in the aftermath of fires that will form you
through suffering
so embrace it all: the soaring heights and gold medals and the seasons of desert darkness,
let it make you who you truly are, let it burn away the falseness and posturing and people-pleasing,
savor every moment

But to the question β how did I figure out what I wanted to do and be?
I haven't really yet. No idea where I'll be in a decade.
But if I can figure out the next right thing today, that which is true and good, that which is marked by love and care for community, then my path is probably illuminated just long enough for me to take the right next step.
Q to You: what makes your heart soar?
