You may kill a fire. And everything you know falls to dust and ash. Yet the remarkable treasure in this seemingly hopeless pile, is hidden deep within. The burning embers incarnate the perpetual desire to go from spark to flame.

About This Quote

The burning ember is a metaphor for the idea of rebirth and renewal. A person who is burned out and no longer living life to the fullest, starts anew. When a person is in lurk mode, they are not thinking of how to move forward or what they can do to improve their situation. They are caught up in their old habits and they enjoy the comfort of familiarity.

However, when a person starts anew, they instinctively grasp onto new ideas and experiences. They don’t want anything to change and yet there is something within them that is yearning for change.
