"Site to Be Developed." When you see this sign you know someone is preparing to put up a building of some kind. It may be an improvement over what currently exists on the site, or it may do more damage than good. We have all seen nature destroyed in the name of development.
Think of yourself as a site to be developed. Remember that different sites are suited for different types of development. What is your goal? What resources are available, and what will best fit your site? Look yourself over and get a feeling for your site. Ask for help from developers and landscapers. Then begin construction. Don't worry about what the sidewalk supervisors think about the structure you are building. This structure is going up on your property and you decide what it will be, or you will find no joy in the life you construct. It will be someone else's building and you will be stuck in it.
A project under development. A white canvas or a hunk of potter's clay. I offer metaphors to remind you that you can change yourself and create a more fulfilling life -- if you remember my mother's advice to make the decisions that will make you happy. You can create and re-create. This is not about selfishness, but about authenticity.
How much can you do with yourself? No one knows. I know you can be happy. You can be loving. You can take part in creation and live and work in your heart zone. There are no limits. What will happen then? No one knows the details, but I do know you will have what you need, peace and joy.
