We can’t wait for our paths to be cleared before we grow. Look at nature, our teacher, it shows us that there is no obstacle to growth which manifests through every crack in concrete, a stone, a hill, or a mountain. Stamina magnifies through struggles. We have to learn to live without baggage and to remember that our purpose on this planet is that of maintaining peace and abundance for all. Our emblem should read: I come to build, not to destroy. Empty handed we came and empty handed we’ll go.
