An Open Letter to My Lost Younger Self

If you’ve been frantically searching outside of yourself for help with a plan but you feel untethered and directionless, maybe what you really need is to quiet down inside yourself and listen for a vision.

You cannot find your calling on your own. It’s a process that involves a team of mentors. And everywhere you look, help is available.

Who are you that is lost and trying to build a concept of yourself in order to be found? This question represents the essence of spirituality. You will never find yourself in what you have built to define yourself.

You already have some sense of what you’re supposed to do with your life, even if you aren’t sure what it is. The trick is to find your vocation hidden in your life. That’s what I learned the moment I started thinking of myself as a writer. I went looking for answers and found that some of them were already in me.
