Behind all your stories is always your mother's story.
Because hers is where yours begin.

“Before I was six years old, my grandparents
and my mother taught me that if all the green
things that grow were taken from the earth,
there could be no life.

If all the four-legged creatures were taken
from the earth, there could be no life.

If all the winged creatures were taken from
the earth, there could be no life.

If all our relatives who crawl and swim and live
within the earth were taken away, there could
be no life.

But if all the human beings were taken away,
life on earth would flourish.

That is how insignificant we are.”

Binti Jua, an 8 year old female Western Lowland Gorilla, tending to a 3 year old boy who had fallen into her enclosure at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois back in 1996. The boy had broken his hand and suffered a large gash on his face. Binti carefully carried the boy to the service door and handed him over to zookeepers. The two remain friends to this day!

"I saw a dog on the side of the road. As soon as he saw the car he got up and started barking... I stopped and saw those eyes...

I saw pain, despair but also hope... As if they were telling me take me from here...

And that's how it happened!!! We are starting our new life!"

From a mom who feels lucky today..."

Let life humble you.

Leonard Cohen said his teacher once told him that, the older you get, the lonelier you become, and the deeper the love you need. This is because, as we go through life, we tend to over-identify with being the hero of our stories.

This hero isn’t exactly having fun: he’s getting kicked around, humiliated, and disgraced. But if we can let go of identifying with him, we can find our rightful place in the universe, and a love more satisfying than any we’ve ever known.

People constantly throw around the term “hero’s journey” without having any idea what it really means. Everyone from CEOs to wellness influencers thinks the hero’s journey means facing your fears, slaying a dragon, and gaining 25k followers on Instagram. But that’s not the real hero’s journey.

In the real hero’s journey, the dragon slays YOU. Much to your surprise, you couldn’t make that marriage work. Much to your surprise, you turned forty with no kids, no house, and no prospects. Much to your surprise, the world didn’t want the gifts you proudly offered it.

If you are foolish, this is where you will abort the journey and start another, and another, abusing your heart over and over for the brief illusion of winning. But if you are wise, you will let yourself be shattered, and return to the village, humbled, but with a newfound sense that you don’t have to identify with the part of you that needs to win, needs to be recognized, needs to know. This is where your transcendent life begins.

So embrace humility in everything. Life isn’t out to get you, nor are your struggles your fault. Every defeat is just an angel, tugging at your sleeve, telling you that you don’t have to keep banging your head against the wall. Leave that striver there, trapped in his lonely ambitions. Just walk away, and life in its vastness will embrace you.
