The true tragedy

f you see yourself as mediocre, you haven’t seen yourself deep enough.

You are looking at your achievements. You are looking at your behavior. But you are not looking at your essence.

If you think who you are is merely what you have or how you behave, you haven’t truly seen yourself.

If the scriptures are to be trusted, you are a piece of the divine. Therefore, there is absolutely no way you can be mediocre, regardless of your accomplishments.

Others may label you by your possessions. But would you? Would you trust the noise of the outside over the wisdom of the masters or the quiet whisper of your heart?

You think it’s sad to die mediocre. I think it’s sad to die believing you can ever be mediocre.

The true tragedy is leaving this life without ever having recognized your own divinity.
