100 things I know
100 things I know

I could have never planned the life I have. No lists or aspirational goals could have brought me to where I am now. The only advice I have, if you can even call it that, is to sit as close to heart as you can. It has plans for you, but you must be willing to enter its fire. Patience and devotion are its love language, so feed it well. Never steer from your bullhead, as it will bludgeon the spirit of true inspiration in you, only lead from the humblest part of you. Keep your head bowed, with the word mercy on your tongue, as you are eroded by tenderness and shown who you are. Take what is given, and feel the blessings living in you. Know that every moment is more than enough. Only when you can see this will you close the vast divide between you and your longing. This heartbeat in a body, this perfect iris of the eye, loved itself into being. This breath inside the breath in you is God incarnate. Follow this, know this, and thanks will be your only words and action.

"Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.

If your goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward
toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the "correct" feelings

towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve
of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what
brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not object. It doesn't matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you."

“Because children grow up, we think a child's purpose is to grow up. But a chiId's purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn't disdain what only lives for a day. It pours the whole of itself into each moment . . . Life's bounty is in its flow. Later is too late."
— Alexander Herzen

“We’ve been granted the mental capacities to make almost infinitely ambitious plans, yet practically no time at all to put them into action.”
