Maybe you think to yourself, “I’m just human.”
And you’d be right…sort of. You are human. As am I. As is Nelson Mandela. As was Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. As was Siddhartha Gautama. As was Jesus Christ.
But there’s no “just” about it.
Jesus’ purpose here wasn’t to be worshipped after his death – to be held up as more than a man.
He came here to show us the truth of who we all are.
He came here to show us who we all can be; what we all can do.
We are all Human Beings.
Our failure is not in who we are. Our failure is only in forgetting the magnificence, beauty and power that lies within us all.
Our greatness doesn’t lie in skill, ability, talent or knowledge; it lies in belief and choice – no more, no less.
Remember well that…
“We are our choices” ~Jean-Paul Sartre
Belief and choice are the only things separating us from the likes of Jesus. The only things.
The brilliant thing is that whatever your beliefs and choices yesterday, today you can make new choices; today you can have new beliefs.
So what do you believe?
What do you choose?
