What if the question is not why am I so infrequently the person I really want to be, but why do I so infrequently want to be the person I really am?
What would you do if you knew you were enough just as you are today, if you knew - really knew - that you were in your essential nature a compassionate, gentle being capable of being fully present with yourself and the world? Would you trust yourself more?
What if who you essentially are right now is all that you are ever going to be?
What if becoming who and what we truly are happens not through striving and trying but by recognizing and receiving the people and places and practices that offer us the warmth of encouragement we need to unfold?
