Thought

If one does not become the eccentric, unique, one-of-a-kind person he or she was meant to be, then a violation of some large purpose of the cosmos has occurred. Individuation is not self-absorption, narcissism or self-interest. On the contrary, individuation is a humbling task to serve what our deepest nature asks of us. For some it will be a path which brings public recognition, for others suffering and public calumny, for others still, private epiphanies never seen by anyone else.

– James Hollis, Creating a Life: Finding Your Individual Path

Quote

Henry David Thoreau on connectedness: 

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”

Moment of Gratitude

I’m grateful for opportunities to grow myself, even when such opportunities present as challenges.

What are you grateful for today? 

Happy Monday,
