“Give time, give space to sprout your potential. Awaken the beauty of your heart — the beauty of your spirit. There are infinite possibilities.”

Gliding daily through the garden as if my shoes were sailing ships helps me realize our true, infinite potential. Each day, there is something new: a leaf unfurls, a seedling appears, or a bud opens.

We are living, breathing examples of pure potentiality.

Once we focus on this, we are unstoppable. Even if darkness creeps around the corners, the light is always there.

We can find the tiny seed composed of our dreams, plant, nurture, water, and care for it until it grows to become something magnificent. Each of us holds this potential in our hearts.

You are a creator of worlds, big and small.
