Whole

"Wholeness does not mean perfection: it means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life." -  Parker J. Palmer

I don't think we truly appreciate our wholeness until we are broken. We don't appreciate our health until it fades. We don't appreciate the goodness of today until we encounter the challenges of tomorrow. We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Why can't we live in the now? Why can't we have an attitude of gratitude? Why do we spend so much time looking for our next that we don't relish in the present? Today is a blessing. Today is all we have. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Just be and enjoy being. 

"You don't need another person, place or thing to make you whole. God already did that. Your job is to know it." - Maya Angelou

Evolve

"The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be."- Oprah Winfrey

Imagination. Reinvention. Evolution. I can't imagine being one way your whole life and them transforming into someone completely different in your latter years, but it happens all the time. Bruce became Caitlyn right before our eyes. People retire and start brand new careers. Married couples become divorcees. Change is inevitable. Life will cause you to evolve. Embrace it. Sometimes, we don't see the whole picture of our lives. Adapt. Evolve. It's easier than extinction. Become the complete person you were always intended to be.
