There was a time when life got tricky, and one wrong move could’ve cost me - not sure what all it would’ve cost me but it would’ve been significant. I had gotten to a point where I wanted to apologize to many people for having access to them and not always knowing how to push them to their fullest potential. Because of how many people God had entrusted me with over the span of 10 yrs, it felt easier to simply give those apologies through improved behavior rather than verbal or written ones.
Then, I looked up and I rarely saw any of those people unless I was visiting other events or spaces. I received hugs, was shown love, and even noticed some shrugs. I realized that my job was simply to be a stable step on the staircase of their full potential, not the full staircase. I learned a human lesson in not holding on to people when they’re designed to bloom across this amazing city & world.
Full character or artist development is not designed to come through one single person or organization, and trying to be everything for even those who were reluctant to produce any fruit or bring anything to the table, would always leave me uncertain or taking their exit personally. My loyalty is to my calling, now, not people or things because both are designed to shift with the seasons. Let them wither or bloom, as designed and in their own timing. The only circle I worry about now is how I’m contributing to the circle of life. 🌺💫
