We should cherish what we have, we shouldn’t cast it aside in favour of an unobtainable perfection.*
Susan Cain
Inside of us, the child is still running enthusiastically towards a horizon it once glimpsed. Our future life depends on finding this original directional movement in our lives, no matter how far we feel we are in middle age.**
David Whyte
What we have is more valuable than anything else,
It will shape our future when we make some time to uncover who we are and
what we possess – what Jean Houston names our Quantum Partners and
Alex McManus labels our MaximumU,
our personal archetype of fuller possibility:
This is you, with your passion, talents, and energy released;
Age does not matter,
Only the willingness and commitment to discover
and experiment.
Do you feel the passion within, urging you to live the greater story of your life?^
What if you were to gift yourself fifteen to thirty minutes each day for the
next year to take this journey?:
At the moment you can’t imagine what will be revealed,
But I have an inkling, and it’s
transcending.
