Am I Willing to Have It?

Reality demands our very being, and will not settle for less, no matter what the stakes.

We don’t overcome the world of our lack because it hardly occurs to us to first overcome the self that corresponds to that world.

It calls for a sacrifice—the lesser for the greater, and “no man can serve two masters.”

All of this leads to one of the most sobering self-questions we can ask:

Not, “Do I want this?”

 ..but “Am I willing to have it.?”
