Loss is the uninvited door that extends us an unexpected invitation to unimaginable possibilities.

Loss is an invitation to a journey of unparalleled growth, yet we seldom RSVP the invitation.

We would prefer all gain and no loss in life, yet that would gain us nothing more than great loss.

Pain is nothing but growth waiting for us to give it permission to grow us up.

Am I a storm-waster? For it is within the fury of the very storms within which I cower that I find resources for my growth that are entirely absent on calmer days.

To realize your potential you must look beyond the end of yourself, realizing that where you end is most likely where you actually begin.
