People in the Full Flow of their Humanity Seem Larger Than Life, Like They've Swallowed the Moon

There are "individuals who were able to figure out the unique gift the universe gave them when they were incarnated and then put that at the service  of their goals. ...

​We all come complete, we come complete with one true note we were destined to sing.  It doesn't dictate your choice of job, what it dictates is how you do it.   

When we see these people

we invariably call them larger than life.

You know, you'll see somebody like Roberto Benigni,

and you'll say, "Oh my goodness."

Eve Ensler, she's larger than life,

which always makes me smile

because how could you be larger than life?

Life is large.

But most of us don't take up

nearly the space the universe intended for us.

We take up this wee space around our toes,

which is why when you see somebody in the full flow of their humanity,

it's remarkable.

They're at least a foot bigger in every direction

than normal human beings, and they shine,

they gleam,

they glow;

it's like they've swallowed the moon.

And all the work I've done has led me to believe

that individuality really is all it's cracked up to be.

In fact, people who are frightened to be themselves

will work for those who aren't afraid.

Now your job is not to be anything like any of the people

that I put up behind me.

In fact your job is to be as unlike them as you can possibly be.

Your only job while you're here on the planet

is to be as good at being you

as they are at being them.

That's the deal."
