Until we live it.
It is so tempting to want the answers before we begin the journey. We like to know our way. We like to have maps and guides.
We are more like a breathing puzzle, a living bag of pieces, and each day shows us what a piece or two is for, where it might go, how it might fit. Over time a picture begins to emerge and we begin to understand our place in the world. This happened to me this summer. Purpose showed up for me in a huge and beautiful way.
We waste a lot of time seeking someone to tell us what life will be like once we live it. We drain ourselves of vital inner fortitude by asking others to map our way. And at the end of this stalling, we have to venture out and simply see what happens. Open the door! Step out of comfort, dip our toes into the unknown.
Bring to mind how fresh today is. Drop preconceptions about where you are going and what you must do. Simply breathe, and know that everything is possible, and everything, even this day, is unknown until you live it.
