Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
–Howard Thurman
Someone sent me the above quote the other day and ever since, it has been front and center in my mind and heart–in the form of a series of questions:
- What makes my heart come alive right now?
- What does that feel like?
- What would it be like to go do that?
- What obstacles might be in my way? (real or imagined)
- What do I do about that?
There is
something within
each of us that waits and
listens for the
sound of the genuine in the
other… and in
ourselves.
—Howard
Thurman
