I am remembering times in my life where I compared myself to others, came up short and so got quiet. I did not move beyond my self doubt to service. There were other times I thought I had so little to offer, it wouldn't matter. Aesop said " no act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted" --so, I try to lead with my light rather than my doubt. I am also thinking that each one of the extraordinary humans mentioned here may also have thought they weren't good enough somehow. May the need to serve, to speak, to care... win out over the voices that discourage. May peace prevail on earth.

Thank you. I understand deeply feeling less capable than I actually am. I understand too that sometimes, it takes a stranger to remind you of your beauty. I am also reminded of a woman I met at the Loving Community - Jyoti with a smile that brightened a room. She made 5-6 purses a day that she would sell for less than 1 usd - EVERY evening she will cook dinner for up to 80 elders in the community who have leprosy and can't cook and feed themselves (most have no fingers) - She will cook for them, help to feed them and clean up. She told me how happy she was in her life of service and that (and I am paraphrasing) not every one needs to be or can be an eagle and that is okay. We need everyone.
