I put a piece of paper under my pillow, and when I could not sleep I wrote in the dark.
Self-awareness is a trait – or maybe ‘practice’ is the more accurate way to put it – that everyone can always improve at.

Ascetics and fakirs come to mitigate human suffering; to heal us and lead us on the path. They put up with criticism; they go through many worldly trials.

You’re only the boss if you put up your own money.
