Don't think so much.

You might overlook the obvious. You might see past all that you've achieved. Don't move so quickly. You might overstep the moment. You might miss all the beauty you're creating.

One can wake up, get dressed, walk out the door, thinking that they're on their way

to a someday, achievable, brilliant finale,

and simultaneously fail to understand the miracle of the now.

It's in what you're doing now, who you're helping now, what you're becoming now, your miracle is now. And you can't see your impact

because it materializes behind you as your back is to it and you step toward those distant

horizons.

There's a direct link between always wanting to be better and never feeling like you're good enough.

If you don't properly compartmentalize the two, you'll always be chasing something you can't obtain while you walk right by the brilliance you're piecing together in real time.

That carrot just outside of reach for the runner on the treadmill.

And I'm not saying your goals and ask you of reach for the runner on the treadmill.

And I'm not saying your goals and aspirations aren't incredible.

I'm not saying you aren't one in a million.

I'm not saying you won't shock, change, add unparalleled value to the world. No, that's most certainly possible.

But I'm saying you're doing that now too.

Like right now.

You're not on a trajectory to someday be one in a million.

You are one in a million on a trajectory to live life fully,

to further expand, explore as you should.

But let's not lose perspective along the way.

It's hard to watch someone who has changed your life feel like they're not good enough.
