Great Doubt, Great Faith, Great Determination

Reading from Tuesday, October 21, 2014 yoga class

From the book "Perseverance" by Margaret J. Wheatley

"...in reality there's nothing anyone can give us.  There's nothing that we lack.  Each one of us is perfect and complete, lacking nothing...But this truth must be realized by each one of us.  Great faith, great doubt, and great determination are three essentials for that realization."

The Path

Great Doubt
Who am I?
Why am I here?
What's the point?
Why me?
How do I get out of this?


Great Faith
I'm here for a reason
I trust that I can learn and grow
I trust that other people are worth the struggle
I know that every situation is workable


Great Determination
I'm willing to keep going
I choose to stay
I surrender to what is
