I feel my story is one of triumph and expectation.

The expectations were a call to adventure, a challenge to start on the journey of a thousand miles, despite the bloody callouses that have accumulated on my feet. I have been scarred. I have felt tortured. At times, I sought aimlessly to search back. Why go on? Perhaps I should return to my beginning.

What is this call within your soul? That feeling to go on still deeper and trek onward in the search for the smile that will feed you deep within? The call… it calls and beckons you ever stronger. That knowing that hits you like lightning when you’ve found it, that fire that flares when you grasp it in your hands — a purpose that cannot be articulated, only felt, lived, and danced.

Run within your soul. Jump beneath that sunlight, bound in the rays that never cease and never end, that eternal brightness which you cultivate with every step, sometimes done in agony, other times in joy. The path to inner freedom is arduous and winding. You will stumble in utter darkness until you realize that the only light that can be gleamed was always and was ever coming from yourself.
