Big heroic steps are what the ego wants, but a garden is growing one seed at a time.
The ego thrives on the euphoria of exhaustion because exhaustion is the only time it can rest without judging itself for being lazy.
There is nothing heroic about planting a seed in your garden. There is nothing heroic about planting a seed of truth in our world.
To plant a seed is to be ‘heroic’ through other organisms, but the ego wants to be heroic in its own organism first.
Leadership doesn’t happen in heroic moments, even though social media, movies, and the news most often present it as such.
These are all great games for the ego.
Leaders are not born in great moments of conflict, war, and despair but they are often uncovered in such moments.
Because in great moments of conflict, war, and despair, all egos fall short while only the seeds of truth, love, and service remain.
To be heroic is not only to act while everyone falls short but to plant a seed while everyone tries to be heroic.
