So let’s change the question. Do you really want it all? Do you want the joy, the pain, the plan—or the plan derailed? Will you welcome the life that takes you off course? Because if you do, you will truly live. You will be fully alive. Awakened to a life of reckless abandon, where you bare your heart and soul and you don’t look back. Where you run wild and free from the bondage of fear. Where you laugh and delight in the place of freedom. Where you live with courage because you have been rescued.
