No matter what you were born without, or how despairing the hand you’ve been dealt, be assured you’ll get all of what counts by going at any one single desire/purpose with breath-taking focus. In other words, you’re to pursue it with the single-mindedness and persistence of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. To change the metaphor, you’re to bloom where you’re planted, like a flower blossoming incongruously at 14,000 feet on some sheer alpine rock face.
