“All the truly great persons I have ever met are characterised by what I call radical humility…They are deeply convinced that they are drawing from another source; they are an instrument. Their genius is not their own; it is borrowed. So they end up doing great things and expansive things precisely because they do not take first or final responsibility for their gift. … Their life is not their own, yet at some level they know that it has been given to them as a sacred trust. Someone has taken them seriously.”
-Fr Richard Rohr
you should watch this TEDtalk, on a very similar idea by elizabeth gilbert – its good! yes i like TEDtalks now… i think the juggling one was just a anti-climactical first impression
