“You each must be a lamp unto yourselves.” - Buddha
Don’t blindly accept the opinions and perceptions of others. What they think or say about you is none of your concern. Shine your own light of insight and questioning; come to know your own mind and heart.
We gain self-awareness by drawing on our courage and experiences. The real you is transparent, vulnerable, and full of integrity. Be quietly and humbly aware of your best qualities.
Learn from your mistakes. Don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes. When you endure a series of challenges, look to the truth and beauty of friends, loved ones, poetry, art, and music. Be still, pray, meditate. Slow down.
Knowing that we are different than others is a sign of self-acceptance and maturity.
“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” - Nietzche
