Essential Truth #3
You are not that important.
It was probably a man, one you knew and loved, who was the first to inform you you’re not that important. Maybe he did so angrily, shouting inches from your face. Or maybe he did so passively, by disappearing without a trace. Or perhaps I’m wrong and it was someone or something else entirely who first pulled the wool away from your eyes. By now you’ve spent all these years searching and building your life using a reputation, a job, a family, something - anything in order to show everyone, especially that person staring at you in the mirror, how important you are. It can work for a while, but life is nefarious and has many ways to empty us of self. As you now turn toward the journey home, back to who you truly are, you will find a great peace not in your worthiness, but in those twin abilities called forgiveness and love, forever emanating from your beating heart.
