The boundary to what we can accept is the boundary to our freedom.

Tara Brach wrote these words in the early 2000s while working as a psychologist and Buddhist teacher, watching students and clients alike suffer not from their circumstances but from their refusal to acknowledge what was actually true in their lives. She had spent years observing how the trance of unworthiness narrows our world, contracting our sense of what is possible until we are living inside a very small story about who we are and what we deserve. This teaching speaks directly to purpose and meaning because so many of us are searching for our calling while simultaneously rejecting the raw, unedited life that is already asking something of us.
