When you observe something for too long, you inevitably discover every microscopic fault line within it,
And when you focus for too long on those minor imperfections, you begin to piece together an image of that thing as being fundamentally flawed.
Introspection can function similarly.
It is good to go inward, but only if you also spend enough time moving outward seeing, feeling, experiencing new things.
If you spend your life picking yourself apart, you will find more than enough to be dissatisfied with.
Rest your eyes and your mind, and let your heart settle.
You begin to understand that belief is not found; it is built.
It is built from desire, from hope, from passion morphed into some tangible reality.
You begin to understand that the nature of your conviction is not some transient emotion that holds no weight nor meaning but rather a directional impulse that keeps pointing in the exact same direction.
You begin to understand that the very nature of potential is that it is greatness not yet expressed.
You become less interested in why it is not mysteriously manifesting itself
And more curious as to what steps you could take to reimagine yourself in the light of what you really know you are..
However, when you think of yourself again, you will do so with more kindness, more grace.
You will realize that nit-picking your soul is not growth; it is resistance.
It is a denial of the beautiful truth of all that you have come to be.
This is how you believe in your potential when your reality tells a different story?
