The hard part isn’t the only hard part.
Some seem like they just know their purpose and their path. For others, me included, such clarity has been quite elusive, a life-long epic journey of self discovery searching for something you don’t exactly know what you are searching for until you actually find it. And once you’ve found it, at some point you realizes a greater challenge now stands before you.
What to do with it.
Sometimes such clarity serves as the catalyst for change. Sometimes, though, clarity simply magnifies the stuck, quantifying the gap between where you understand you want to go and where you know you’ll probably stay.
Embracing change is far from painless. Undoing what already is and dismantling established emotional infrastructure is not for the faint of heart. Nor is deciding to defy the long-sought clarity and avoiding the inherent pains such changes would require.
One life.
Two different paths.
Two different pains.
