Yep, your names been called. Front and center. Let's go. Move it!
That is what yesterday's post was all about. If you continue to wait for God to fix you, or the world, pick out a casket. You will die with all the unfulfilled longings that make up your daily existence. If, however, you want to change the world, then change yourself. Take on the mantle of savior, saint, guru, teacher--or, if need be, (and you are truly enlightened) the title of worthless avatar, lazy monk, or prickly priest. Quit letting the idea of you becoming perfect before committing stop you in your tracks. You are never going to be perfect! (sorry to break that bit of news to you)
Instead, perhaps, you can share your life story without all the guile, blame, and self-deception you usually employ. Forgo the masking of your insecurities and self-loathing, everyone does that. Teach them something they rarely (if ever) see. Authenticity. Here I am in all my majestic worthlessness! Yes, I am fallible. No, I don't have all the answers. And guess what? That's my teaching!
Something rare is invariably considered precious, valuable. So it is with an individual who can reveal themselves as they are--stripped of all artifice. And this you can begin teaching today. Do so.
