Coming into Focus. Content Warning.
I have come to realize that purpose is composed of what we fear and what we love. We must find a way to combine the two. That’s how we really grow most. Life is like a photograph being taken in slow motion. We are moving into position for the snapshot as we live our lives. At the end, it is taken. Some will see what they did not accomplish. Some will see what they achieved. All will see their purposes. Which will it be for you? Maybe this is what is meant by our lives flashing before our eyes when we face death. The goal is to lessen the regret we will see as much as possible.

The Power Hidden in Anonymity
I opened Kindred Spirits mailbox on Bird Island in North Carolina, expecting to find the usual anonymous entries. On top of the stack was a passport size forest green leather notebook that would call out to any regular visitors and even the rare ones. I sat on the lone bench and opened it. Reaching Our Higher Selves stood alone on the first page. As I began reading, I quickly realized it was a guide to improve all of humanity. When I reached the end, it begged the reader to spread the word so more would come read it there. Such begging was unnecessary.
