I wondered who I’d be without my fame
who would I be if I said things that
people didn’t want to hear or if I
defied their expectations of me what if
I showed up to the party without my
Mardi Gras bat mask and refused to flash
my breasts for a handful of beans I’ll
give you a moment to wipe that image out
of your mind when I was about 28 after a
decade as a professional comedian I
realized one night in LA but the purpose
of my life had always been to free
people from concern just like my dad and
when I realized this I dubbed my new
devotion the Church of freedom from
and I dedicated myself to that ministry
what’s yours
how will you serve the world what do
they need that your talent can provide
that’s all you have to figure out as
someone who’s done what you’re about to
go and do I can tell you from experience
the effect you have on others is the
most valuable currency there is
everything you gain in life will rot and
fall apart and all that will be left of
you is what was in your heart am i
choosing to free people from concern got
me to the top of a mountain look where I
am
look what I get to do everywhere I go
look at this I’m gonna get emotional
because when I tap into this it really
is extraordinary to me I did something
that made people present their best
selves to me wherever I go I am at the
top of the mountain and I was and I the
only the only one I hadn’t freed was
myself and that’s when my search for
identity deepened you can join the game
fight the wars play with form all you
want but to find real peace you have to
let the armor rip your need for
acceptance can make you invisible in
this
don’t let anything stand in the way of
the light that shines through this form
now fear is going to be a player in your
life but you get to decide how much you
can spend your whole life imagining
ghosts worrying about the pathway to the
future but all there will ever be is
what’s happening here and the decisions
we make in this moment which are based
in either love or fear so many of us
choose our path out of fear disguised as
practicality what we really want seems
impossibly out of reach and ridiculous
to expect so we never dare to ask the
universe boy I’m saying I’m the proof
that you can ask the universe world I
learned many great lessons from my
father not the least of which was that
you can fail at what you don’t want so
you might as well take a chance on doing what you love
who would I be if I said things that
people didn’t want to hear or if I
defied their expectations of me what if
