🔆 Life is not about this or that. Life is total, one integrated whole, there is no reason to discard something.

🔆 You may say that the time is limited but remember time is 24 hours for everybody. Time is not limited, the mind is distracted, the mind wastes away its energy in frivolous things and then you say, you don't have time.

🔆 You take so much of time reading, studying precisely because your mind is divided. You are never one, never immersed, you never give everything to what is happening in the moment, that's why you have to spend such elongated periods.

🔥 When a tree grows, it branches out in all directions, you too must branch out in all directions. Learn to cook, learn to write, learn to dance, learn to ride. Who told you, you must have a unidimensional boring personality.

🔆 If you today you find that your energy gets expressed in all kinds of stupid ways, it is only because it is not going in the right channels. When it doesn't flow in the right channels then it gets invested into alk idiocies.

🔆 When your energy and your attention is flowing in the right channels then you have no time left for gossiping, for complaining, for random squabbles, for picking up stupid fights, for feeling hurt.

🔆 When the opportunity comes knocking, I am available. When the sun rises, I am available to look at it. When the stars shine, I am available to dance under them. When the birds are singing, I am available to listen to them. I am not closed.
