That which you condemn will condemn you, and that which you judge, you will one day become.
It is not a question of whether you ‘have what it takes,’ but of whether you take the gifts you have – they are plenteous – and share them with all the world.
And so then, keep on growing, My son. Keep on becoming. And keep on deciding what you want to become in the next highest version of your Self. Keep on working toward that. Keep on! Keep on! This is God Work we’re up to, you and I. So keep on!
There is nothing I have to do, nowhere I have to go, and no way I have to be except exactly the way I am being right now.
Do not dismantle the house, but look at each brick, and replace those which appear to be broken, which no longer support the structure.

Remember, you are constantly in the act of creating yourself. You are in every moment deciding who and what you are. You decide this largely through the choices you make regarding who and what you feel passionate about.
