The Ascent of Aspiration

Rumi wrote that we are all born with wings, yet we spend our lives crawling through the dust wondering why we are so heavy. What does it mean to give yourself permission to fly? It does not mean escaping reality; it means seeing reality from a vantage point where borders dissolve and possibilities multiply. The dreamer is not one who ignores the earth, but one who understands that the earth is only the runway from which the soul takes flight. When you dare to believe in your highest potential, the air itself rises up to meet your courage.
