You are What the World Needs

How would I live if I was exactly what’s needed to heal the world?A wonderful perspective from physician and author Rachel Naomi Remen:

Many people feel powerless in today’s situation. I think that we all feel that we’re not enough to make a difference — that we need to be more somehow, either wealthier or more educated or somehow or other different than the people we are. And according to [a classic 14th century Jewish] story, we are exactly what’s needed.

Just wonder about that a little: What if we were exactly what’s needed — what then? How would I live if I was exactly what’s needed to heal the world?

That question ought both haunt and inspire us. We are here. We are all there is. We are what we have and therefore what’s needed. And that is good enough, isn’t it?

Dr. Remen was interviewed on public radio’s Speaking of Faith.
