Critical Truths

Here's how you know if you've grasped these critical truths:

You've DONE Enough. You HAVE Enough. You ARE Enough.

Ask yourself three simple questions:. 

What if all that I have is all I will ever have?
What if everything I have done is all I will ever do?
What if all that I am is all that I will ever be? 

As you read these questions, you might feel disappointment, resentment, and fear creeping in. 

You might feel surprised by these questions, as if they are ludicrous. 

Of course you haven't done all you'll ever do! Most of us plan to have more than we currently have. And almost everyone imagines that they could, and should, be more than they currently are.. 

Pause for a moment. Take three deep breaths. 

Ask yourself: 

Do I have enough? Have I done enough? Am I enough? 

It's important to engage in practices that allow you to understand these facts:

You (and I) have enough. You ( and I ) have done enough. I )( like you) am enough. 

You are enough. I am enough. We are enough. 

When we practice meditation, we become present to the phenomenon of right here, right now. Over time, we gain an understanding of the miracle that we are. 

The ludicrous nature of these suggestions suddenly shifts into a seemingly sudden (it's been there since you evolved from stardust, but it's not easy to understand) awareness of the obvious truth 

OF COURSE, I am enough
Surely, I've done enough. 
And without a doubt, I am ENOUGH.

This moment is the only moment that you actually have. 
So, right now, you might need to reassess the gifts you've given, the good deeds you've done, and the way your life has caused you to be. 

No matter how challenging your circumstances in this moment, I want you to know that you've done enough. 

When we relax into the miraculous experience of being ourselves, we see that there is nowhere to go, nothing to get, and nothing to add to who we are. 

We were born prefect and we are enough from the moment we arrive.
