Before we can be what we are meant to be, we must accept what we are not. This form of discernment asks us to let go of those grand fantasies that take us out of our nature, that make us work to be famous instead of loving, or perfect instead of compassionate.
FROM: THE BOOK OF AWAKENING by Mark Nepo
REFLECTION:
- Have you accepted who you are not (or will never be/become)?
- Have you let go of fantasies of what you thought you wanted to be? Do? Have?
- How can you be more loving and compassionate?
