Once we know what we aren’t, but we have thoughts of who and what we want to be, then that is a starting point to reach out gently day by day, working to be what we want to be while still retaining the inner-beauty of who we are.
A lifetime passion should be us looking for the adventure that lives in our heart, those desires for something more that we want to be, and the challenge of searching for it “within” until it becomes us. Like a jig-saw puzzle all the pieces come together and finally we will one day be pleasantly surprised yet joyful at the treasure that we have found living within us that has become all of who we are.
Part of the trials of life that God brings us through is taking us to that courageous being that we always were but we never knew.
