What’s stopping you from being the creative person you were created to be? What’s stopping you from stepping into the void of your life and creating fullness?
For every mess, there is a creative idea to fix it and for every void, there is creative wholeness to satisfy it.
The creative idea you’re in need of, the creative wholeness you crave, is not outside you but within you.
On Discovering Your Destiny
Unfortunately, we tend to spend more time studying who and what surrounds us than we do ourselves. So, we don’t know ourselves. We don’t know our true capacity and capabilities.
Destiny is the only one who fully knows what’s inside you. In order to reveal you to yourself, it will sometimes put you in situations of chaos or void with the expectation that you can handle it.

I was tired, weak, afraid, and frustrated but I could endure as long as the rest of my crew stood strong, refusing to allow the chaos of the situation to go internal.
Can you recall a similar event in your life, when the integrity of your journey depended heavily on how well your crew weathered the storm of circumstances?
You will always have a special grace to get through the challenges that come your way. But, that doesn’t mean that the people present with you also have that grace for that challenge.
