how many of us would rather clip the bud of our ambition than experience the humiliation of being exposed for thinking we’re worthy of adding something meaningful to the world. We recognize that wanting is dangerous, for ourselves and for each other, because when we disparage the other, it just might be because we want what she has. But when that longing is not reacted to but studied, it can be a lighthouse for your heart’s desire, shedding its rays on purpose and potential.
