Today... whilst freshening up before getting my dressings changed, I found myself standing naked in front of the mirror. I saw my body: a work in progress. A canvas. I saw my tattoos: a story still being written on that canvas. They're 26 of them. I counted today. Each, representing a chapter of my life, #personalGrowth, and #personaldevelopment. I remember the stigma and double-talk that came with getting them. "Where will he work?" "How does he expect to succeed?" Bearded, tattooed, a cussbird, opinionated... heavily muscled... where will he fit? He.. doesn't... And never needed to. He... is powerful.. purposeful, on purpose. And he's here... omnipresent... always forward. At least... that's what my reflection said. What does yours say? Have you found your "why"? Are you still searching for a spot where you fit, rather than carving your own resting place?
