To experience before learning is reflection.

To know when each is required is wisdom.

There might be no stars in our night sky, but we have fireflies that twinkle.

Unlike a star’s twinkle, I can hold this twinkle in my hands.

A bowed head might miss a star’s twinkle, but a firefly’s twinkle meets my gaze wherever it rests.

There might be no stars in our night sky, but we have fireflies that twinkle.

And that is enough for the night.

Live by the advice you would give to someone you love.

Because you are someone you should love.

See how much your life improves just by doing this.

Just decide how you will be treated.

Act accordingly.

Everybody else will shape up.

Nothing matters when everything matters.

Something matters when nothing else matters.

Trade-offs are a signal of clarity.

Power is hidden behind the throne.

Power prefers power, not power plays.

When all you’ve tried is not working, maybe it is time to try not trying.

And if that doesn’t work, then maybe things not working is what you truly desire.
