Always we hope someone else has the answer, some other place will be better, some other time it will all turn out.
This is it; no one else has the answer, no other place will be better, and it has already turned out.
At the center of your being, you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.
There is no need to run outside for better seeing. Nor to peer from a window.
Rather abide at the center of your being; for the more you leave it, the less you learn.
Search your heart and see the way to do is to be.
– by Lao Tzu
