Who creates the most value? The one who works as Himself.
This means he’s at peace with his “curse.”
Many see their gift as a curse. So, they rush to devalue it and look enviously at others.
Flaws and talents are two sides of the same coin. The nature of all phenomena is ambivalent. Benefit and harm depend on whose hands it’s in and their attitude.
Imagine you’re water. Not earth, fire, or air. You can’t change your formula (H2O). At best, you might have a cosmetic effect, but your nature stays the same.
But H2O isn’t just water — it’s also steam, dew, snow, and ice. Choose the best state for your goals and life’s circumstances. Water is unbeatable.
The key word is “choose,” meaning management and control. You can’t master what you don’t understand, appreciate and love.
So, it all starts with one “heretical” thought:
There is something inherently good in me that casts a shadow.
You just need to study yourself more deeply.
Sincerely yours,
