To be human is to be limited. As Rumi said, we are the universe in ecstatic motion. Yet, sometimes we get too caught up in trying to bring about change in the world.
As humans, there is only so much we can intentionally share with the world—our empathy, compassion, and ability to comprehend the experiences of others.
Eventually, we come to realize that, despite each person's reality existing in its own right, we also want to be present with our own. At this point, the energy of contradiction flowing through us can feel overwhelming. Rather than fearing it, we can practice being present with its magnitude.
We begin to crave and grow curious about our own existence and experiences. This curiosity calls for a deep commitment to living out our purpose.
Our purpose serves as a channel that invites us to express ourselves fully, as the person we are meant to be. This requires us to release conditioned ideas about our purpose and to fully embody its depths, creating space for its expansion.
This limitation is a humbling reminder that there is only so much we can truly be a part of. This is why cultivating interdependency at a collective level is essential—these systems work together toward a long-term vision.
