Won't Be Delivered

A skill . . . honed over years of failure.

A craft . . . polished by passion and fire.

An insight . . . gained through struggle.

Wisdom . . . learned through suffering.

An Idea . . . developed through trial and error.

A dream . . . built through nightmares.

Your gift to the world—the one only you have to give, only you will be able to offer—will not be stumbled upon but fought for, wrestled with, struggled against, and suffered over.

It won’t be delivered to your doorstep. It’s on the other side of that treacherous terrain of life and you (and the rest of us) will both be worse off if you stay put.
