Revelation of the Day

We hide crouching behind an image of who we think we want to be, often times squashing genuine genius and creativity to fit the mold we have built for ourselves. I just realized that it is meant to be even better than we could have ever imagined. How we imagine ourselves to be "fully realized" is but a meagre, watered-down version of who we will be in reality.

Even in the best daydreams of dream jobs or utopian predicaments, so much 'creme' is missing; we see ourselves in the best possible outcome, true, but these images fall tragically flat. The stuff that truly inspires awe, that is, the wisdom accrued over years of suffering and painful lessons learned (the expansion of the heart, really), coupled with the manifestation of this wisdom is not present in our "when I grow up" fantasies. So there it is, folks, it really is better than you could ever imagine. The best possible version of you is still en route but it must be gently drawn out with the seasons.
