I came across this quote recently:

"There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls." – Howard Thurman

The sound of the genuine ...

What does that feel like? I know it when I hear it. I know it when I see it.

It's a gentle knock begging me to listen.
