Every orbit and every escape are part of us just figuring out what we were born to do. Our mission. Our purpose. When you find that purpose you can bask in its warmth—not because you’re done but because you are now confident of who you are, why you are here, and where you are going.
It’s not necessarily that our progress has stopped, but we have stopped oscillating back and forth and now we can center our lives on the pursuit of that purpose.
