Don't diminish yourself in any way. Dare to be all that you are.
The only moment ever available to you is the present moment. Everything else is memory or imagination.
Surrender the dream and the truth will be revealed.
Everything that happens is designed to awaken us. Everything.
As you awaken, the present moment becomes your home. You still play in the world of time, but you're not identified with the story unfolding there.
If you accept full responsibility for yourself, you will be released forever from expectation, resentment, blame and guilt.
