One of the greatest figures in history who demonstrated the power of unpretentiousness was Jesus of Nazareth. He was born in an obscure town in the middle of nowhere. He was raised by a carpenter who taught him that trade. He was an untrained rabbi who traveled on foot from town to town to declare the good news of the Kingdom of God. Those who embraced pretentiousness opposed him. They were the religious leaders. They dressed in fine clothes. They imposed religious law on others. They reveled in their power and influence. At first, they ignored Jesus. He was a nobody. Nothing would come of him.

But, he had a power they lacked. He spoke with authority. He healed the sick. He fed the masses. He was the real deal and the world recognized him as such. Then the religious leaders were threatened by him. Even though outwardly he was a nobody, inwardly it was undeniable that he was a somebody. He was more popular than they were. He was more powerful than they were. He had something they didn't have.

They had but one recourse: kill him. So, they masterminded his death. This would be the end, they thought. Kill him and it will be over. They would be in charge again. But their pretentiousness made them shortsighted, as it always does.

While they were able to have him killed, they were not able to defeat him. His life was bigger than their pretense. His influence only expanded. Now his message is spread throughout the world. What a story!

Decreasing reliance from being controlled by someone or something else. People who are high in reliance depend on the support and favor of others. They often attach themselves to people and institutions that offer security and avoid places and people that insist on meritocracy. Those who are self‐reliant have no expectation of gaining recognition or reward for anything they did not accomplish. They expect to be treated fairly and are uncomfortable if they are given more than they believe they deserve. Reliance on drugs or alcohol, overindulgence in television as a means to zone out, going numb through all time‐wasting behaviors—these choices rob you of the experience of your life. Becoming aware of these dependences and choosing alternatives that put you in ever‐increasing awareness of your life experience are critical to having a rich and full Circle.
