“Release yourself into the dreamscape, and follow your heart’s deepest calling, as it is leading you to the actions that will continue to weave your life into the story of humanity. Without you being here, nothing—not one single thing—would be precisely the same. You are an integral, irreplaceable thing. You came here to do what only you can.”
― Brianna Wiest, The Pivot Year

“A body could be labeled but a person couldn’t, and the difference between the two depended on that muscle in your chest. That beloved organ, not sentient, not aware, not feeling, just pumping along, keeping you alive.”

“Maybe you don’t need to find more energy, maybe you just need to find a dream that makes you actually want to get up in the morning. Maybe you need to find something that gives back more than it takes. Maybe you need to stop trying to be good at the hundred things that do not light up your soul, and finally choose the one that does—the one that asks you to risk, to lay your heart bare, to try again, even though you’re scared. You’re not failing because you’re not motivated. You’re not supposed to get far on a path that was never yours to walk.”
― Brianna Wiest, The Pivot Year

“A life most fully lived is not always composed of the things that rock you awake, but those that slowly assure you it’s okay to slow down.”
― Brianna Wiest, The Pivot Year
