- Some people prove themselves in school.
- Some people prove themselves in conflict.
- Some people prove themselves in business.
…And some people realize that they have nothing to prove to anyone except themselves.
….And so they build. Not to have something bigger than anybody else—but, to have something built that serves a purpose; that fulfills a vision; that realizes a dream.
A purpose, vision, and/or dream that comes from within, that’s built with the tools within, that helps nourish feelings that can only ever be influenced from within.
Because those who try to get feelings from letter grades, fist fights, or number games end up taking a long detour that winds up, down, and over an incredible terrain—only to leave them back where they started… looking at the only person who had the ability to give them the feelings they so desperately sought out the whole time…
…The same one who was there with them right from the beginning.
…Themself.
