awaken truth

You are not your work product. You’re not the hours you spend laboring, nor are you the end result.

The most meaningful use of your time isn’t found by squeezing the greatest possible productivity from your minutes. It’s far more critical to appreciate the your natural rhythm and truly respect it.

Yes, the world around you will keep racing. It will beckon you to take part in the madness, but refuse to align yourself with that dance.

The temptation will run deep, but you must never allow comparison with others to become your benchmark for living. Doing so will only lead you to dire places – places that sap your sense of hope and confidence.

The lies – they won’t stop coming. But when you choose to have a say in the matter, I can assure you, those lies ultimately cannot overpower the truths.
