Roger Housden Quotes

Wisdom and knowledge are two different things.

We have to be on time every day for one thing or another, so how can we be on time and yet not in time at the same time?

We have all had serendipitous moments - the most unlikely meetings out of nowhere - that can happen when we have this quality of deep acceptance towards ourselves.

Be willing to be where you actually are. In my experience, that is the most inherently meaningful experience you can have.

Struggle has a natural place in our life, but the fight or flight syndrome is often false struggle. There are times for that but we can have that reaction in areas of our life where it's not successful. Areas that concern existential issues or qualities of life - like meaning or purpose or love. These things actually come to us more as we let go of struggling to achieve them.

If you allow yourself to fully feel the life you're in - not conceptually, but viscerally in the present moment - then that is inherently meaningful.
