our capacity for change

This connection between these two statements made me think twice, grateful that we as humans have the potential to change.

What are you doing today that is one tiny step towards getting closer to your ideal version of yourself?

Happy Sunday!


"To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.”
Bruce Lee

"It is perfectly possible — indeed, it is far from uncommon — to go to bed one night, or wake up one morning, or simply walk through a door one has known all one’s life, and discover, between inhaling and exhaling, that the self one has sewn together with such effort is all dirty rags, is unusable, is gone: and out of what raw material will one build a self again? The lives of men — and, therefore, of nations — to an extent literally unimaginable, depend on how vividly this question lives in the mind. It is a question which can paralyze the mind, of course; but if the question does not live in the mind, then one is simply condemned to eternal youth, which is a synonym for corruption."

James Baldwin
