I wasn’t expecting a cemetery to remind me of something so deeply alive.
But there I was, walking through the cemetery, when I saw a statue etched with this quote — and it stopped me in my tracks.
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
— Albert Camus
It was quiet. Peaceful. And somehow… incredibly honest.
Because how many of us forget the strength that still lives in us — especially in our hardest seasons?
🌿 What If You’re Not Broken — Just Buried?
This past weekend at a leadership event, we spent time unpacking something that most of us don’t even notice is shaping our lives:
Our self-talk.
Our self-talk.
We say things to ourselves we’d never say to someone we love.
We downplay our wins, brush off our gifts, and focus on every flaw.
We downplay our wins, brush off our gifts, and focus on every flaw.
But here’s what hit me:
What if the version of you that you long to become… is already there?
Not something to earn.
But something to uncover.
What if the version of you that you long to become… is already there?
Not something to earn.
But something to uncover.
That “invincible summer” Camus talks about — the hope, light, and life buried beneath the heaviness — it’s already in you.
You don’t have to become her.
You just have to remember her.
You just have to remember her.
