Every accomplishment
disappeared into a black hole.
Until I realized
the hole was a portal.
For decades I reached for the next achievement, thinking maybe that one would finally fill what was missing. Titles, power, and money never did.
What I found on the other side was a way of being I didn't know existed. Where my standards stay high. Where my drive flows freely.
Where the relationship with myself becomes whole.
And it starts with stepping inside what looks like a hole.
IS THIS YOU?
You've built what success is supposed to look like.
And something about it echoes a silent emptiness.
You've told yourself you'll probably never be satisfied. And that's what pushes you. That's just the way it is.
But you can't quite make peace with it.
So you set the next goal. And the next.
The hole doesn't fill.
It never will.
You weren't meant to fill it.
BREAK TO AWAKE
when powering through
like you've done a million times before
to break through the next level
doesn't work its magic anymore
a piece of you breaks into a whisper
could there be another way?
whisper wells not weakness
but deepest power waking
