Good morning!
Last night I had a chat with a young gentlemen who was so inspired by me, that he requested to co-author a book with me. However, he said to me, “Well not now though, because I am not ‘there’ yet.”
In other words he was not ready. He was not at a certain point in his life, to go ahead with this project, and he felt I knew more than him.
This was my reply to his statement:
“Listen Obi-Wan, (ok his name wasn’t Obi-Wan, but he is still my apprentice),
remember that not everyone knows everything, but everyone knows something. The greatest minds in the world don’t know it all, in fact those that changed the world, did so in silence. What I mean is that their actions changed the world, not so much their words or speeches.
You see, you are already there. Life is like a journey. You start at one point. You finish at another. Well so we all believe. The journey of life is circle. It is whole, nothing is missing. It is complete. But more than that…The point at which you start is the point at which you end. You will come full circle. So my friend, you have already arrived. You are already there. There is no waiting for the “perfect” moment or circumstance. Here is what I’m saying in 3 words: “YOU HAVE ARRIVED”
The world is your stage, and what you have to share with the world in this moment, is all the world needs. ”
And that is what I shared with the young man.
I share my insights with you, in the intention that it inspires you. But the truth is we teach what we need the most.
Love,
H
