you always had it

sometime around mid June, 2005.
I saw him and knew he was searching for something. I told him, "I know your searching for something, something that can be taught, and I can teach it to you, but before I do that, I should tell you that you always had it in you. You just didn't know...think about it."
the next day he came up to me and said, "Yeah, I know what you mean, you were right."
