A thousand different desires speak from a thousand different mouths. One says, "I want to be an artist."

Another says, "I want to be an athlete." We're born with innate desires, destinies inscribed into us at birth.

To achieve our highest potential, we need only to follow that voice inside. But as we'll soon find out, our deepest, immutable desires call us to the highest mountains.

And often, abandoning the climb is easier than making it. On a hot summer's day, we find ourselves bored at home.

A desire speaks from inside us, but it speaks unclearly. We think it says, "freedom."

We look out of the window and see our bike. We decide we're going to learn how to ride it.

On our first try, we fall and scrape our knees. We feel the pain of failure, and we face a critical moment that all kids face when they

fail to meet a desire: do we suppress it or find a way to meet it? We try again and again, and we fail.

Every time we fail, we get another bruise. When our friends and family see us fail, we feel embarrassment.

When our more successful friends ride past us, we feel like dumb, inadequate failures. Learning is slow and painful.
