I was like,

I don't want to do that.

And I don't have the energy for that.

And like, I don't think it's good for people.

Like, I don't think it's good for the people in the community and it's not good for me.

So I was just like, I'm just going to be myself.

Warts and all.

And like, if anything, like I would like to be a role model for people to be like, hey, look, that guy who's up there on the stage, like giving the sermon, like look how flawed he is.

And he's up there on the stage, like being a spiritual leader.

That means he's like valuable and worthy as a person.

And so if he can be up there doing that, like I can also be lovable.

because of all my flaws and all the ways in which I fall short and I'm still a work in progress and have not figured things out at all.

It's not just that I don't know.

It's that like, it is okay to have those questions.

You don't actually need the answer to that question.

It is okay to be living in this place of uncertainty and confusion and not knowing.

And I want to like validate you for that.

And like, that is actually, I think, often more powerful than giving people the answers.

Yeah.

And like not knowing, like, I mean, so much of my personal practice has been releasing the expectation of knowing.
