Spiritual heroism – is it possible?
It is, however, easy.
But it seems difficult.
This is only and only because through heroism
we end up surpassing ourselves,
that is, to move our suspected limits
or known
further.
Other times we are within the known limits,
But what “moves” is the attitude
– I give up comfort
for something spiritually important
or from the point of view of humanity and compassion.
Spiritual heroism – is it possible?
What NOT to do
You do NOT have to refuse
an obvious challenge in a certain direction.
Don’t let it be obvious that you have to do something or be somehow
And you don’t want to or don’t do
– because you prepare, you hesitate
– or you really don’t want to
– because you don’t feel like it, you want to protect yourself
– or you think it’s not worth the effort
– because you don’t care much
– or because you accept your little souls.
Simple, right!?
It doesn’t seem simple, but the limits are illusory.
Then we realize, AFTER we have succeeded,
that we were too afraid of the test initially.
But that’s going to happen
ONLY AND ONLY
if we don’t back down and succeed in the face of the challenge.
