Growing into great …

Dear Friends,

It’s tough to do great things by setting out to do them; because before we even get started, we’re probably coming from ego. Besides, we have to manage little things to get the experience we need to manage bigger ones. And that can leave us shying away from doing much of anything.

But when we begin to do something, we are encouraged. Peace and joy lie in doing what we can, not what we wish we could do. And when we move beyond our preconceived notion of what “great” looks like, we make way for what great really is. It’s doing what we can with love.

We can sweep a dirt floor with love, or we can build a castle without it. But we can’t be happy without love.

We forget–again and again–but never forever. And the more we practice, the longer we remember.

Love and hugs,
