We have a human tendency to numb overwhelming emotions. To heal, we must sit with and fully face our feelings. Through building and creating, we can process and appreciate these emotions.

I had never deeply questioned my true intentions behind the habits and goals in my life. I was putting one foot in front of the other without asking “WHY?”

I was lost within our words, between your story and mine clashing. Our blinded lens to each of our own perceptions. I looked at this mirror again, after the warfare – tasted the blood, the stained guilt. I saw myself in you again. But this time, I saw me differently.

If you want to know yourself, first you need to observe yourself — study yourself — with a deliberate curiosity to learn not only of the who you are, but also the why, leaving no stone unturned.

How do we and how does our environment grow or hinder our human potential? Every question of our human potential leads me to a forefront answer.
