Doing must be grounded in being.

____________________

I will never feel enough as long as I continue to focus on trying to do (enough, more, better). Can my behavior ever be perfect despite how often I replenish my energy, spend time in solitude, or even accept help? Because even as my capacity grows, so too does my awareness for my next stage of development.

I will fall short every day.

But this is a gift. A critical component of compassion. The struggle forces me outside of myself and into faith, empathy, spiritually, divine grace, and a deeper growth. I begin to accept both my own power and powerlessness, and that feels holy.
