it’s worth it.

that which you are compelled to do, exactly the way you do it, even against your better judgment? it’s the right thing to do. why? because that’s the only way you will see: [1] how beautiful you are and [2] what it is you came here to learn.

you won’t know what’s inside until you see yourself doing it on the outside. you need who you are to be reflected back to you to know who, exactly, “who you are” is. do you know what your left eye looks like? no. not until you see yourself in a mirror. do you know what tattoos do? they merely bring to the surface certain energy and experiences so as not to be forgotten.

now, the universe doesn’t care how long it takes for you to learn what you need to learn, just so long as you learn it — even if it feels like wasted time. your soul knows that time isn’t real; time is just one of the perceptual constraints inherent to your meat suit. so what’s more important? “saving time?” or honoring the integrity and perfection of your soul through aligned action? what about doing what you think is right, even if it goes nowhere, even if the only person who would see it is you? why should we waste time making “perfect” or doing the ultimate if “good enough” is good enough?

because your best comes from God. how would you like to meet your maker on judgment day and say, “i gave just enough, not too much, and was sure to waste none of my time while on this earth. i made no further effort beyond my actions as a ‘good enough parent,’ ‘good enough spouse’ or ‘good enough friend.’” no. that’s not why we are here.

the perfect and the good are enemies. it’s a funny kind of war, but you must be sure to pick the right side.
