I'm also the things I can conceive I can do and be, but sometimes that's hard to figure out, so I'm more than that. I'm also the things I'm meant to do that I don't yet realize. I am all these things, just like everyone else is. If we can remember that we are all these things, little setbacks in where we are and what we're doing NOW don't make us any less than what we are, so they remain little setbacks, not a comment on us being less than we hoped.

Thanks for the comment. I intellectually understand that I am a human be-ing but don't quite understand how to live that. I have no concept of what it means to live in a non-performance environment. It's one of the experiences I am believing for on my spiritual journey, and the irony is that I realize I cannot "make" it happen. So I have to be take a non-peroformance stance toward entering into a non-performance way of living. I'll stop now because I am confusing myself. :) Regards, Michelle David,
