I went to my mailbox yesterday and was greeted by an envelope from a friend. I opened it 10 minutes later, as I was waiting for my vegie burger to cook. Inside, I found the card you see above.
First thought: Yes! Awesome.
Second thought: But wait. Aren’t there parts of us so deeply ingrained that we don’t quite feel we created them? Parts that we have to find?
As I continued to devour my burger, giving me ample time to contemplate as I filled my belly. I mused and chewed, and by the time I washed it all down with a glass of iced tea I realized this completely ties in with many of the questions I have asked in this blog over the past several months.
Sure, we come with a lot of stuff. We come with talents, tendencies, desires, pet peeves… the list goes on. But life isn’t about uncovering these things — it’s about what we do with them once we know they’re there. It’s about what we nurture, what we say, who we help, what we do — in essence, what we create.
So, do you want to find yourself, or do you want to create yourself? Now’s as good a time as any to get started…
