Clarity in life always arrives with the first rays of light. Every day, some people depart, and others return. Do not dwell on those who leave, nor be overly excited by those who return. If it is a reflection of the soul, departure and return are irrelevant, for it is always present. If it is the true meaning of life, there will be reunion despite the distance. Everything stems from the heart. To be at peace with oneself is to find the Buddha's heart.
People often demand too much from those close to them while being overly tolerant of strangers. Through the blooming and withering of flowers, one understands the meaning of youth and reunion. When things do not go as planned, do not dwell in sadness; instead, recall the moments of laughter. Every detour you take is actually a necessary path. You can never borrow someone else's wings to fly into your own sky.
When King Edward visited the slums of London, he came to the door of a dilapidated house where a destitute old woman lived. The King asked, "May I come in?"

Life is an endless painting, rendered with the strokes of artistry.
A tree flourishes because of its deep roots; a life becomes magnificent because of its refusal to be mediocre.
