The Most Expensive Thing You Own Is the Picture in Your Head.

There is a picture in your head right now of where your life is going.

Not the one on the resume. Not the one you tell people at dinner. The quieter one. The one you run through when you cannot sleep. A version of yourself in five years, maybe ten, doing something specific in a specific place with a specific kind of life around it. That picture is why you are making the choices you are making this month. It is why you are staying patient. It is why you are telling yourself the next step is the responsible one.
