Wow @joshbillings!

It's the falling that matters, not how short you fall. Allow yourself to let go and fall forth in perpetual motion. You may not love every inch of who you are, but if you zoom out and ask yourself, "What's lovable about this?" You will find something to love each and every time.

Ah this speaks to me so much right now. It really convinced me to take some necessary steps back and ask "what am I loving about this current situation I'm in?" There's most definitely a lot of love and fulfillment there!

Allow the tumultuous nature of your past to become the kaleidoscope of your inner beauty. Nothing has gone wrong, you just have to broaden your perspective by twisting the end 360 degrees, so what looked frozen and lifeless comes alive as a moving blur of color and light.

This is just such a great visual analogy. A kaleidoscope is the perfect interpretation as what was, turns into something that is nothing like it was. Something that is alive and colorful!

I really enjoyed these stories here Josh. I was shocked at first to imagine your youthful self being scolded in those ways. Your limitless self's explanations were really beautiful and so pertinent to your experience. I'd love for you to share more of that voice in the future as it feels very much like a gift to the world.

Thank you for courageously sharing and inspiring us all in the process. Love you brother!
