Take your skills and apply them to a new problem, for they arise frequently. They may not be earth shattering but even the small ones need our attention. They make us more resilient. They make us more cognizant. Sometimes we need to drop our long held tools in order to pick up new ones. We must always keep a healthy tension, a level of static magnetism that provides jolts of realignment.
It is our nature to compare. To see others as grand masters of their universe. We forget that in fact they are just that. Masters of their universe, not ours. Our orbits are fierce, they have to be in order to revolve around one another. But within our own star, our own super heated gas giant- is us, and we are the energy that keeps the fusion alive.
There are amazing bright sparks of energy filling the vast expanse of our profession. Some vibrate and send such a force of energy we get swept away by their resonance. But they are in their own orbital path- they are supernovas. We are too quasars and pulsars reverberating cosmic flare. We all have our purpose, our revolutionary aura.
There will always be asteroid dangerously close and comets racing by. But we need to stay our course. We need to holdfast to our orbit. We need to slow our comparison and look inward to our miraculous journey from a spark to a fire. From a speck of dust to a glorious planetary system. We are all radiant solar galaxies- we are all lithosphere, atmosphere and biosphere.
So compare yourself to yourself yesterday- not someone else today. For when you do you see your own evolution, you continually expand. You recognize every 'big bang' of energy you create. You recognize that your location in the vastness of space might be orbital, it might be stationary for the moment- but you can always hop on a comet, collide into a white dwarf or become a nebula of ingenuity.
It is all perspective, perception and power. And that is all you my friend.
