Station 5: Isolation
Experience: Despair | Task: Stay Vigilant | Reward: Discovery
Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.
Station 5: Isolation
This is the point in the process when what you've left is gone, and what you're seeking hasn't shown up yet. Nothing teaches you how strong you are more than discovering the edge of your weakness. Nothing can develop your strength without testing your limits. When despair shows its face, remember you are on the verge of discovery.
