“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
You are the universe experiencing itself in one dimension. Your birth is the universe longing for itself. Your every thought, emotion, and action is the universe perceiving itself through you. Therefore, you have literally the entire universe within you, with all its potential.
In other words, you are the mirror in which the universe gazes at itself and becomes aware of its own might and glory.
So then, just as a seed already holding the complete blueprint of the oak tree, you as the fragment of the universe, carry the full map of every possible itself.
Hence, if you choose anger, fear, or despair, those are the things that awaken in you.
However, if you say — regardless of how difficult my life is right now — I choose to love, to rise, to appreciate what’s in front of me, even though you have every reason to resent or give up, it is then love and gratitude that awaken within you.
And the simplest truth we tend to forget:
You become what you awaken.
