Tomorrow is the launch of my book. And I’ve had mixed feelings about it. But as I was talking about it with my friend Juliette she stopped me.

“Revel,” she said. “You’ve been working towards this for years. And now it’s happened. Revel in it.”

Our culture has so many narratives about success or dreams achieved. It’s going to be wonderful. Or it’s not. I’ve seen clips on social media of very rich and famous people talking about how being rich and famous did not fulfill them, even at their richest and most celebrated.

We are told “be careful what you wish for” as if we are all little children reaching for shards of broken glass because they are shiny and we want to grasp them in our little hands. But what if what we are reaching for is, indeed, what we are here for? What we are built to do? What if we are reaching for our destiny, not a shiny object?

Please listen, share, review and help support my work!
