STEP 46 I MUST BE SMALL TO BE GREAT.

IS IT A CONTRADICTION THAT YOU MUST BE SMALL to be great? It is not a contradiction if you understand its meaning. Recognizing your limitations allows you to work in a limited context very successfully. This demonstrates a greater reality than you could have realized before. Your greatness must not be based merely on hope or high expectation. It must not be founded on idealism but on true experience. Allow yourself to be small, and you will experience that greatness is with you and that greatness is part of you.

你必须渺小才能伟大，这是否矛盾？如果你理解它的含义，就不会觉得矛盾。认识到自己的局限性，你就能在有限的环境中非常成功地工作。这证明了一个比你以前所能意识到的更大的现实。你的伟大不能仅仅建立在希望或殷切期望之上。它不能建立在理想主义之上，而应建立在真实的经验之上。允许自己渺小，你就会体验到伟大与你同在，伟大是你的一部分。

IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE PERIODS TODAY, allow yourself to be limited but without judgment. There is no condemnation. Actively engage your mind in focusing on your limitations. Focus without condemnation. Look objectively. You are meant to be a vehicle for a Greater Reality to express itself in this world. Your vehicle for expression is quite limited, but it is fully adequate to accomplish the task that is yours to accomplish. In accepting its limitations, you can understand its mechanism and learn to work with it constructively. Then it is no longer a limitation but a form of joyful expression for you.

在今天的两次练习中，允许自己受到限制，但不带评判。没有谴责。积极调动你的思维，关注自己的局限性。专注而不谴责。客观地看待问题。你本应是更大现实在这个世界上表达的载体。你的表达载体非常有限，但它完全足以完成你要完成的任务。接受它的局限性，你就能理解它的机制，学会建设性地与它合作。这样，它就不再是一种限制，而是你快乐表达的一种形式。
