I love this so much! "The invitation is incarnation." I've been a reluctantly incarnated soul all my life, so I need constant reminders like this.

What keeps me going, though, is not the promise of developing greater mastery by lifting heavy weights. I'm not in it for the personal growth. Rather, I've always felt I am in this body in this place at this time because I'm here to give something, not to get something for myself. I'm on a mission to Planet Earth. It's been a hell of a tough undercover mission but if I can offer something really valuable to the world, it will have been worth it.

But that's just me. Personal growth is excellent too!
