I went to Lourdes with a plan. I was going to do the bathing ritual. I was going to get dunked in the sacred water and it was going to be transcendent. And then I looked around at the line I was standing in and heard something very quiet and very clear. This is not yours. 

Everything Belongs says it like this: when you can get little enough, you will find that the little place where you really are is ironically more than enough and is all that you need. At that place, you will have nothing to prove and nothing to protect. 

This is an episode about the spiritual maturity of right-sizing, and what becomes available when you stop pushing for the thing that was never actually yours 

Question to carry into your day:
What are you pushing for that might not be yours right now, and what might be waiting for you if you stepped back?
