Freedom and happiness come from understanding - and working with - our limits. Begin at once a program of self-mastery. Stick with your purpose. Do not seek external approval.

Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.

You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
