You'll always be chasing something you can't obtain while you walk right by the brilliance you're piecing together in real time.

That carrot just outside of reach for the runner on the treadmill.

And I'm not saying your goals and aspirations aren't incredible.

I'm not saying you aren't one in a million.

I'm not saying you won't shock, change, add unparalleled value to the world.

No, that's most certainly possible.

But I'm saying you're doing that now, too.

Like, right now.

You're not on a trajectory to someday be one in a million.

You are one in a million on a trajectory to live life fully, to further expand, explore, as you should.

But let's not lose perspective along the way.

It's hard to watch someone who has changed your life feel like they're not good enough.

It just is.

It's hard to watch something so beautiful feel like they must first evolve before they're worthy.

And it's like, sure, I get it.

We celebrate visible, tangible successes.

The innovators and CEOs, world-class talents.

People who have built the present and will build the future.

But notice, there are no ceremonies for the ones who lift others up every day.

who lead by example, who show up again and again when they're going through their own private hell.
