Atzmi Insight:
Sometimes we hear things which we seemingly don’t understand. Nonetheless, they have a profound impact on our daily behavior. This is because our soul comprehends, and from that flows a stream of radiance that can illuminate our life.

Daily Thought

One day the devil decided to go out of business, so he invited a cast of the world’s most evil characters to a special yard sale. The tools he was selling included hate, envy, jealousy, greed, betrayal, deceit, vengeance and malice. In the center of the display was a well-worn, wedge-shaped tool that looked like it had been used much more than the other tools.

“What’s that thing in the middle?” one character asked.

“That’s discouragement,“ the devil=2 0answered.

“And why is it priced so much higher than the rest of your tools?”

“Because,” the devil answered, “with that tool I can pry open and get inside a person’s mind that I couldn’t get near with any of my other tools. Once discouragement takes over, I can let all the other tools do their work.

Life is just a chance to grow a soul.

Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book. If art doesn't make us better, then what on earth is it for.

Know your limits, but never accept them. Most limits would disappear like smoke before the wind if, instead of worrying about them, we walked confidently over them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: Famous Life Quotes
So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of each man's genius contracts itself to a very few hours.

I feel we are all islands - in a common sea.

Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you're an alien from another planet and you see two life forms, one of them is making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge?
