Truth is like a beautiful stallion. You can admire it, be inspired by it and occasionally, be blessed to catch it and ride along with it. But you can never put a fence around it, cage it, bottle it, or keep it from earnest souls in the search. It will forever jump fences, and escape …
It’s tempting to want to get to the top and be seen and cheered by the world. It happened for Jim Carrey & you know what he said? Even with the millions of dollars and the millions of fans, he found himself alone, depressed and defeated inside. Maybe a different kind of goal can bring …
