you do not need more time. you need to waste less of the time you have.

do not wait for quiet to begin the work — create it.
step away from the noise. what matters is rarely loud.

you were not made to chase every desire, nor to be admired by every passerby. you were made to live rightly — which is to live simply.

eat when you are hungry. rest when you are tired. say only what must be said. and let that be enough.

if you can sit with yourself in stillness, without needing distraction, applause, or movement — then you are free.

return to this: a breath. a task. a day.

nothing more is owed to you, and nothing more is required.
