At certain season in your life, you don't need permission anymore. You need audacity. Yes, yes, yes. Dissatisfaction is there like a signal that is designed to show us oftentimes that we are probably getting less than the investment of God in our lives. The one who has 5 talents cannot compare his accomplishment to Duan Wushtu. On paper, you may look more successful than Duan Wushtu, but success is relative. It's not a bad thing, it's a pointer. So follow that signal, embrace your dissatisfaction like a baby, and you start asking questions. What is it that I've been designed for that I have not yet become?

It may even be something else that you need to do that will bring you more fulfillment, but for some reasons you've not started. And at certain age, you stop asking for permission. You do what you have to do. At certain season in your life, you don't need permission anymore. You need audacity.
