Imagine your heart as a vast, open sea, endless in its depth, mysterious in its currents, alive with the whispers of storms and sunsets. To sail these waters, you are given two sacred gifts: reason, the steady rudder that steers with clarity, and passion, the billowing sails that catch the wind of your deepest longings. Alone, each is incomplete; together, they compose the poetry of a life fully lived.

Rejection is a universal language spoken in the silent pause after a job interview, the unreturned message, the opportunity that slips just beyond reach.  It arrives uninvited, often wearing the heavy cloak of self-doubt.  Yet, within these aches lies the truth we too often forget: Rejection is not a verdict on your worth, but a compass pointing you toward what is truly meant for you.

We’ve all stood in front of life’s mirror, staring at reflections of our perceived shortcomings.  That voice that whispers, “You’re not enough,” when we stumble.  The ache of watching others excel where we falter.  The quiet shame of believing our flaws define us.  But what if these tender places, these cracks in our armor, are not signs of brokenness, but sacred invitations to become more whole?
