Capacity of knowing yourself

Feeling inadequate means always searching outside yourself for what you think is yours. It's a guarantee you won't find it.

Feeling adequate means knowing your bounds,
knowing what is yours and what is not,
and knowing when to say no (and when to say yes).

Feeling adequate means knowing yourself.

Control

Control is an illusion.

You cannot expect to control everything,
and you should not let other people control you.

In the same way, you should not have the habit of controlling yourself!

Control or let things be? Two sides of the same coin.
It's a subtle difference, and the seed is in the heart.

Test

Life is not a test,
don't worry, you'll pass!

Time

People always complain that there is not enough time to do all the stuff we want to do through our lifetime.

I believe it was designed this way. We keep on trying to fit everything we'd like to do in one lifetime, but we always find more things to do, and as time goes on we find ourselves having less and less time to do more and more things.

I believe the purpose of time is to make us realize that we don't have to finish up everything we started up to do. We need to choose what we want to do, and choose what to ignore as not important. Sooner or later we will realize what is really important and what is not. What is worth doing, and what isn't. Time will then become our teacher, teaching us how to live our life. It will teach us how it is our friend, and not something we fight against. It will help us choose what is important and what is not.
