Being satisfied with what we already have is the key to being alive in a full, unrestricted, and inspiring way. Wake up, become more alert and curious about yourself. Being who we are rather than trying to change and improve ourselves is all right, just be. Any wisdom that exists, exists in what we already have.
We do many things that stimulate us artificially, drink coffee for energy, alcohol for inhibitions, just to name a couple. These artificial stimulants have replaced what should be done naturally, because we have lost the knowledge of how to do things in a natural way.
Inner strength is the master of all frivolities, tranquility is the master of all agitated emotions. Cultivate inner strength and tranquility, this way you will not lose them and will not be seduced by addictive temptations.
Any development to be successful must proceed gradually and be allowed to take its course, being hasty would not be wise. Penetrating gentleness is the outer form that should proceed from inner calm, along with perseverance prevents slow progress from dwindling into nothing.
Quote: Convictions are more dangerous enemies of the truth than lies. —Nietzsche
