Twinkle . . . Twinkle

We’re all chasing something—fun, success, recognition, etc. But if all we do is reach for the next shiny thing, we miss what’s just below the surface: our own depth.

Think of a star twinkling in the sky. That tiny flicker? Imagine your whole life fits between one twinkle and the next. How full that life feels depends on how deep you’re willing to go.

Culture hands us the same old treasure maps—same promises, same outcomes. Everyone digs in the same empty spot, hoping for gold. But the real treasure? It’s inside you.

Certainly, have plenty of fun—enjoy the ride. But if that’s your only focus, you stay in shallow water. The deeper stuff—the peace, the purpose—lives further below. And to get there, you’ve got to stop, as the ancient sages tell us, “pushing the river” and start letting it flow.

Eventually, we all hit a moment where chasing happiness just . . . pauses. That’s your invitation. You can either jump back on the "Carnal Cruise" of distraction and chase the illusion—or you can dive in and see what’s really there.

When you surface again, life feels different—fuller, calmer, richer. Not because you grabbed more gusto, but because you discovered more beneath the foam.

So, keep shining—but don’t forget to explore what makes you glow.

Because constantly chasing the horizon will diffuse your twinkle and always keep you wanting. But when you discover your depth, you not only enrich your life, but act as a guiding light for everyone else.

As the English nursery rhyme teaches us:

Then the traveler in the dark,

Thanks you for your tiny spark,

He could not see which way to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

All the best,

John
