You were born into this world, and then many circumstances have come your way. And you have made a lot of choices about what you would do and who you have become. And this story you have in your head, and the way you behave day to day, is really just a made up thing. Your karma and your choices have made this collection of concepts you call "me".
We say things like, "I am an American, a certain kind of religion, a tennis player, a chocolate lover, a parent" .. the list is very long. But we are really none of these things at all. We are acting out these roles only.
If we start to toss out all of these things and go back to the most essential essence of our beings, I think we find something very simple. Each of is a loving being, each of us is a quiet awareness. This is who you really are, and this is who we must reveal. I think was what Jesus and Buddha were telling us.
Our actions need only reveal our essential love and that essential awareness. When we live in this "moment of love", we reside in real joy, in real happiness. When our love, joy and happiness are truly alive through our actions, it finds it's way to others. You are not the roles you thought you were , but rather you become a force of love that transforms the world.
You are not the small story, you are the big story of love .. I encourage you to live and an embrace who you truly are.
