“Be like water making its way through crack.
Do not be assertive but adjust to the object and you shall find a way round it or through it.
If nothing within you stays rigid outward thigs will disclose themselves.
Moving be like water.
Still be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.”

Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.”

This difference between self-actualization and self-image actualization is very important. Most people live only for their image”
