Our state of being is bound by desire for identity. Driven by our subconscious or not so subtle longing to satiate a hunger to belong. No matter the case, we hunt for what establishes the fibers of our person. With such diversity, we need to celebrate authenticity and even embrace our vulnerability; serving as open portals of opportunity that, lead with purpose, offer unending growth towards embetterment. Like a majestic aged oak birthed from the enshrouded seed earth kept secret, from where we came from to who we want to become, our meager beginnings lead to fulfilling destinations of character and abilities. There is strength in knowing who you are, and through our individualism, we attain needed change while remaining anchored by our roots.
