The War Between Who You Are & Who You Could Be - MONK

Описание: There are two of you.

One wakes up every morning and plays it safe. Takes the easy path. Says "tomorrow." Says "not yet." Says "who am I to want more?" This one is comfortable. Familiar. Tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix.

The other one visits you in quiet moments. Late at night. In the shower. On long drives when your mind wanders somewhere it's not supposed to go. This one shows you glimpses. A different life. A bigger version of you. A person you could become if you just—

And then it disappears. Before you can follow. Before you can act. Before you can become.

You know both of them. You've been living with both of them for years. And the distance between them is tearing you apart.

This is the war no one talks about.

Not the war with the world. The war within. The quiet, constant battle between who you are and who you know — somewhere deep, in a place you don't visit often — you were meant to become.

You feel it as dissatisfaction you can't explain. As restlessness that won't go away. As a voice that whispers "this isn't it" even when your life looks fine on paper.

The monks understood this war. They knew it was sacred. They knew the tension was not a problem to solve but a calling to answer. And they knew the only way to end it.

Tonight, I want to talk about this war. Where it comes from. Why it won't leave you alone. And what happens when you finally stop running from the person you could be.

You are not crazy for feeling this pull.

You are being called.

Stay with me.
