A Super Human...I Think Not!

I recently discovered....I am not a Super Human....Damn it!

To think such a thing is to operate from a place of EGO. I never related EGO to this behavior but I have come to reflect that me believing that I was immune to what life was going to serve me...that I would "always" be able to handle it...was a belief that emerged from my fear and ego.

I have to admit that there were certain things I have said to myself "I would never do...."

Guess what...

I did...

I am coming to accept that I am a human being with human problems. This may be a news flash for some of you...

You....are just a human being with human problems...

What a relief!!!

It does not matter as to what career you have, how much education you have, how much money you make or how good you look on the outside...

Life is full of issues...none of us are expempt from experiencing these things....good and bad.

I have been brought to my knees in recent weeks and humbled in the face of personal adversity.

It has been the best and worst experience I have ever had in my life. Although extremely painful; it did not break me.

What would have broken me is refusing to admit that I was experiencing pain; that I needed help.

Operating from a Super Human perspective will break us all...

From the mud, once again, like a lotus, I will fight my way to the top and emerge better and stronger than I was before.

What I won't take for granted again is my human-ness.

I am a human being with human problems, PhD and all...

We are humans with human problems...forgive yourself and don't regret the past or freak out about the future...

We only have today and we only have each other.

We are all in this together...this thing called life...I mean that...
