Don't be indifferent when opportunity knocks at the door, just invite it in
It is great to be introspective, self analysis can be useful, but only if it results in action.
I meditate not to escape the world but instead to be completely present.
Cherish your health, family, friends, and vocation for none of these things are permanent.
Nothing is quite as satisfying and exhausting as teaching.
If not now then when? Oh I can always do it tomorrow. Unfortunately there is no lifetime of tomorrows.
