wisdom

Sometimes when you’re in a dark place, you think you’ve been buried. But actually, you’ve been planted.

"What's the most complete span of a life, you ask? To live until attaining wisdom. Whoever reaches that goal ends furthest, not at a point but greatest. Let that man rejoice boldly in the truth, and give thanks to the gods, and to himself among these; let him credit the cosmos for his creation, and deservedly so, for he returns to the cosmos a better life than the one he got. He has set the template of the good man, and revealed its measure and its quality. If he had added anything to it, the addition would have been similar to what came before." — How to Die, Seneca

If we always choose comfort we never learn the deepest capabilities of our mind and body.

Your unlimited desires are clouding your peace.

"Until you can find the place in yourself that can be at peace without having what you want, then you are in the optimum position to get what you want. Because until then, your need for it is creating something in everybody you meet that is reducing the potential of that relationship to be meeting a true being of spirit in the right place."

—Ram Dass

Yes.

Be generous with your thinking.
Share ideas and inspiration.
Uplift and aim to fuel imaginations.
Offer possibility, potential, avenues for exploration.

"If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are." — Montesquieu

Practice patience. Wait a day before taking action on the pressing problem.

"The journey is to go from Somebody to Nobody."

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

“People sometimes fail to live
because they are always 
preparing to live”

— Alan Watts

"Wisdom is knowing the long term consequences of your actions."
