Sometimes in order to feel bigger than we've ever felt,

to grow into our potential,

we have to feel small and insignificant.

And what do I mean by this?

Because in many ways, it sounds counterintuitive.

No one wants to feel less than.

No one wants to feel insignificant. But it's in positioning ourselves to feel less than. No one wants to feel insignificant.

But it's in positioning ourselves to feel that that we understand the walls we place around ourselves.

We understand how big life is. And us, while we're here on planet Earth, walking around, navigating our day-to-day lives,

we are but raindrops in the thunderstorm.

We are a snap.

And I think understanding that, understanding that we are a pawn on the chessboard of life,

we are a cog in a wheel, it allows us to take some of that pressure off and free ourselves

up to be our beautiful, authentic, powerful selves. Life is a game.

It's an opportunity.

It's abundance.

Yet we default to, well, I don't want to screw up.

I don't want to lose what I have.

I don't want to make mistakes.

And that's the wrong way to look at life.
