The Pain of Not Knowing

The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized – never knowing. – Jim Rohn

The things your heart yearns for, the things you know you were made for, must be explored.

Otherwise, you’ll wonder.

Wonder what could have been, what you could have been.

Or, you can explore those yearnings and find out.

I say you do that.

  • Redefining Perfect

    “Perfect” gets a bad rap. Why? Because it’s confused with “perfection” which is, non-ideal and non-resourceful. Things are perfect. And by “perfect” I mean they are just as they should be.
