Are there certain habits or health conditions or ways of being that you have come to think are “just the way things are”? You might say: I am depressed, bad with money, a late-night eater, a poor sleeper. The list could go on and on.

And on most days, you can live with that. After all it’s just the way you are.

Are you? Are you really? Or at some point did you let that asterisk attach itself so thoroughly to you that you have come to think of it as you.

And when that day comes where that little asterisk threatens to take you down, is it finally time then to claim your wholeness? Or is doing that something that should be a daily and deliberate, conscious and committed heart-centered practice every single day?
