Shadows

They are always with you, every step on your life’s journey. Sometimes you are aware, other times they go unnoticed. But they are there.

Shadows, however, are rarely in the present. Shadows remind, they haunt. We look down at them and see the same shadow we saw on the playground as kids. Those same shadows follow us, reminding us that we were once superheroes, doctors, firefighters, pilots. The shadows remind us we were once destined for greatness, to be special.

Now, that shadow shows us we are not always what we once saw in ourselves. Our shadows weren’t about our bank account, or being power-hungry.

Dare to be that superhero again. Dare to be great again. It’s not too late to be who you thought you’d be.

Be great.
