The figure inside
Michelangelo said he didn't create the sculpture.
He just removed what didn't belong.
The figure was already inside the marble.
Waiting.
Most of us treat our lives the opposite way.
We keep adding.
More plans. More options. More reasons to wait.
But the work you were made for isn't missing.
It's buried.
Under years of fear dressed as caution.
Guilt dressed as duty.
Indecision dressed as keeping options open.
You don't need more material.
You need less noise.
Your life's work isn't built from nothing. It's already there, waiting beneath the layers of doubt and delay.
