There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don't lose yourself at happy hour, but don't lose yourself on the corporate ladder, either.

About This Quote

There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don't lose yourself at happy hour, but don't lose yourself on the corporate ladder, either. A beautiful thing happens when you recognize your inner wildness and let it shine.

You discover a new you. And when you have the courage to become that new you, there's no going back to who you were before.
