Are we there yet?
Recovery can be a lifelong endeavor, one that requires us to continually plumb the depths of our potential. Much of the time we’re only scratching the surface.
Great. Just when your masterpiece seems complete, you are handed a brush. Instead of feeling discouraged, however, why not feel reassured? Intrigued. Excited!
You have, indeed, come a long way. But the journey’s not over yet. You are deep, complex, rich in untapped resources—a work in progress. There is always more to reach for, to explore and to learn.
The secret to fulfilling potential is to become immersed in the process. To give expression to that which is absorbing and meaningful. If you’re doing what feels right for you, the results will take care of themselves.
New challenges will surface, of course. But you’ll find that who you are and where you’ve already been is reflected in the depths. You can go further.
Linger at the shore if it pleases you. When you’re ready, dip a toe. Wade in and splash around. Take a deep breath, and dive. Immerse yourself. Enjoy.
My greatest masterpiece is a picture of myself immersed in the joy of a new experience. By doing what is most meaningful to me today, I am fulfilling my true potential.
