The Spanish poet Antonio Machado wrote, ‘I caught a glimpse of him in a dream, expert hunter of himself, always in ambush.’
Machado reminds us that the self is perpetually incomplete. Growth is not just what we can do. It’s what we can be.
The idea of self-growth can be daunting, but courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is being afraid and not letting fear stop you.
So take breaks, reach plateaus, but always return to growth. Let’s strive to be expert hunters of ourselves, always in pursuit of becoming our best selves.
