To know how other people behave takes intelligence,
but to know myself takes wisdom.
To manage other people's lives takes strength,
but to manage my own life takes true power.
If I am content with what I have,
I can live simply and enjoy both prosperity and free time.
If my goals are clear,
I can achieve them without fuss.
If I am at peace with myself,
I will not spend my life force in conflicts.
If I have learned to let go,
I do not need to fear dying.

~ John Heider ~
