Aligned — Part I of the Journey Series

Before any journey forward, there is a journey inward.

We all carry two worlds inside us.
One is shaped by where we come from — our past, our roots, the experiences that formed us.
The other lives in where we long to go — our dreams, our ambitions, the person we are becoming.

Most of the time, these worlds feel divided.
One holds us to what was. The other pulls us toward what could be.
And in that tension, we feel split between who we were and who we want to be.

Aligned reflects the moment that changes everything —
when the inner conflict softens and both sides begin to move in the same direction.

The path here is not just a road.
It is the decision to stop fighting yourself.
To let your past support your future instead of standing against it.

When your roots and your aspirations finally walk together,
they don’t compete, they create purpose.

Because clarity doesn’t come from choosing one side of yourself.
It comes from aligning them.

“I thought I had two selves until I gave them a purpose.”
