The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.
Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. And the wound is nearly always given by his father.
We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it’s not worth it.
If a man is ever to find out who he is and what he is here for, he has got to take that journey for himself. He has got to get his heart back.
Without the anticipation of better things ahead, we will have no heart for the journey.
