The Unbelievable Joy of not needing to be (a) someone
This book explores how to end any need to be different than you are.
“The best-kept secret is that we have all we need to be selfless, servant leaders within us. We already are servant leaders and selfless service is our true nature beyond the ego. ”
Not needing to be someone means we have complete freedom to be and enjoy exactly how we already ARE.
- We don't need to improve
- We don't need to change
- We don't need to judge
- We don't need to fear.
Our expression as life happens naturally, organically, and spontaneously. We flow as life because we discover that we ARE life.
Not needing to be someone comes from understanding that:
- Thoughts are not yours and they're lying to you
- You're not in control of anything at all
- You're not a child you need to parent
- Your life is not a project to manage
- You can't understand life from within the mind
- Status/power makes you more (not less) insecure
- There is no need for purpose, meaning, or goals in life.
These are also the 7 themes of the book.
