RESUME GAME

DISCERNING A PATH FORWARD REQUIRES CONSTANT WRESTLING—A PROCESS THAT IS NEITHER SIMPLE NOR STRAIGHTFORWARD. THE CHALLENGES OF THIS JOURNEY CAN BE DAUNTING, BUT EVEN IN THE MIDST OF UNCERTAINTY, I FIND MYSELF GROUNDED BY GRATITUDE.

THIS GRATITUDE IS NOT FOR THE STRUGGLE ITSELF BUT FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH IT. I AM AWARE THAT MY STORY COULD HAVE TAKEN A DIFFERENT COURSE. IT WAS A DEFINING TURN—A NEXUS EVENT—THAT SHIFTED MY TRAJECTORY AND PLACED ME IN A POSITION TO PURSUE POSSIBILITY.

THIS PERSPECTIVE DOES NOT DIMINISH THE WEIGHT OF THE WORK BUT RECOGNISES THE PRIVILEGE OF THE PROCESS. THE STRUGGLE IS A CHALLENGE, YES, BUT ALSO A REMINDER THAT THE CHANCE TO TRY IS A WORTHY ENDEAVOUR IN ITSELF.
