The Secret Life of Teens

Mystical Series : II

 

 

 

I recall experiencing an excruciating sense of shyness as a teen. It was in relation to some sense of perfection in myself when I compared myself to others. I had insight that viewed the several aspects of what I was. It was an experience of the many possibilities that I might grow into. It held a great promise that I was more than all that I was facing at that time.

 

In time, the possibilities unfolded one at a time and I got to experience each. And eventually I came to make a committment to a course of study, a career and an ambition that I wanted to fulfill. In so doing, I lost the promise of possibilities and became simply this one thing, whose specialty and knowledge consisted in maximizing opportunities for businesses that wanted to make more money.

 

The committment left me feeling a little less than what I had always experienced as possibilities. But I lost my shyness. It had made me less that perfect and I was just like everybody else. It freed my mind to focus on what I had to do, the petty details, the menial tasks....all these without the constant intefering thought that I ought to be more.

 

As time went by, this brought another learning to my practice..... that the ideal of understanding our perfection begins with some humility. It adds to our ability to grow and expand the scope of our borders without undue reservation.

 

Perfection and humility, an unusual combination of qualities, that are not natural enemies but the best of friends.
