I want to know if you are prepared to live in a world with its harsh need to change you. If you can look back with firm eyes saying this is where I stand. — David Whyte, 'Self-Portrait' [from 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩]

Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity.

You don’t seek permanency where it cannot be found: in the world of form, of gain and loss, birth and death. You don’t demand that situations, conditions, places, or people should make you happy, and then suffer when they don’t live up to your expectations.
