means not being concerned with whether you’re seen as a hot-shot Dalai
Lama, or a hot-shot Pope, or a hot-shot parent, or even a halfway decent
anything. . . . The ego is just a construct. Get over it.

The
little things you say or do can become the triggers for others’
awakening. You need to take the time to talk from your depth.

problems that have to be fixed or solved, we become more comfortable
with the creative energy of not knowing.
