The Spark Line

Before the START line. Before the POINT A. That glimmer. The moment you decide that something needs to change. To begin something new, to be better, to go higher, deeper. A decision to expand your life. To risk the unknown. To see what’s possible. To draw a line in the sand. No more. No more heartache. Done being sad.

Done being lost.

Done being alone. Done feeling this way. Stop the pain. You could medicate and spiral away or you could meditate on a choice to live. When you’ve just kinda had enough, that line dares you toward a new level of being. It's the line that people talk about as they approach a “milestone year”. Sometimes around the loss of someone they love.

What have I done with my life?

Why haven’t I done more with these gifts? A decision to push through the barriers of whatever is holding you back from being a better, more focused, a more connected you, a better partner, a more present and less anxious parent, a more productive worker. What more can I do? Who is the best version of me I can possibly be?

Deep breath.

And then we move. We seek the journey of self-discovery. There’s always more.
