“At the heart level, you are already who you want to become”
— Ram Dass
Simplified Meaning:
Deep down, you already have the qualities and potential to be the person you aspire to be. Imagine a swimmer who dreams of winning a race. Before they even dive into the pool, they carry the determination, dedication, and spirit needed for success. They might need practice and experience, but the essential traits for achievement are within them from the start. In life, when you strive to be kinder, more confident, or successful, understand that these traits are part of you. Think of learning a new skill, like playing the guitar. Initial struggles do not mean you lack musical talent; with patience and practice, your inner musician shines. Believing in yourself is crucial. Recognize that you, at your core, are equipped with what it takes to reach your goals. Even on tough days or when faced with setbacks, remember your inherent abilities. Embrace and nurture them to grow into the person you envision.
