Many people are not lost.
They are hidden.
Usually from themselves.
One of the strangest abilities human beings possess is the ability to hide in plain sight.
Not from others.
From themselves.
We hide behind excuses.
We hide behind distractions.
We hide behind busyness.
We hide behind blame.
We hide behind old stories.
The hiding becomes so familiar that eventually it feels normal.
THE COST OF HIDING
Every hiding place has a price.
Dreams delayed.
Relationships weakened.
Potential unexplored.
Purpose postponed.
Life diminished.
The tragedy is not that opportunities disappear.
The tragedy is that we stop looking for them.
WORTHY NOTE
Stop being a better hider.
Become a better finder.
WHAT ARE YOU AVOIDING?
Most breakthroughs begin with a simple question:
What am I avoiding?
An uncomfortable conversation?
A decision?
A truth?
A responsibility?
A change?
Whatever comes to mind first deserves your attention.
LIFE IS NOT THE ENEMY
Many people fight life while believing life is fighting them.
Life is not the enemy.
Reality is not the enemy.
Truth is not the enemy.
Often the real conflict is between who we are and who we know we could become.
THE MIRROR
A mirror does not create a problem.
It reveals one.
A mirror is not cruel.
It is honest.
Life works much the same way.
The lessons that appear are often reflections of what needs attention.
PUT LEGS ON IT
Awareness alone changes very little.
Action changes things.
Once you identify something, put legs on it.
Move.
Act.
Respond.
Correct.
Improve.
Grow.
THE GOOD NEWS
What can be acknowledged can be addressed.
What can be addressed can be improved.
What can be improved can be transformed.
This is why honesty remains one of life’s greatest gifts.
YOU WANT YOUR PORTION
You want your portion.
Your portion wants you.
But neither can find the other if you remain hidden.
FINAL THOUGHT
The door is not locked.
The path is not missing.
The opportunity is not gone.
The question is simple:
Will you stop hiding long enough to see it?
