Kara's Flowers

Self-Storytelling
Written By Kindra Hall

A Lesson in Specificity

I’ve been thinking a lot about potential lately—that uncomfortable space between where you are and where you want to be.

We’ve all heard the old adage, “Life is about the journey, not the destination.” But when you’re in the middle of the journey, it can feel almost impossible to embrace this mindset.

Instead of enjoying the process, you may find yourself reverting to adolescent tendencies, full of angst as you count down the days until your next milestone. You wish away each day, desperately yearning for the freedom or opportunity that lies just out of your reach. Impatience takes over and before you know it, you’re wondering if you’ll ever reach your full potential.

Luckily, when I find myself in these moments, I have a story to lean on: the story of Kara’s Flowers. I hope you’ll listen in and add this powerful story to your own motivational arsenal.
