Knowing Yourself

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. ” The author of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu, supposedly wrote this wisdom, and I think pertains to handbags as well as other aspects of life.

Being Cared For

Accepting a kindness honors the giver of that kindness, and care needs that reciprocal relationship of giving and receiving.

Hoping for the Best

Rather than regarding blessings as limited or scarce, this saying tells me there’s plenty of good to go around.

Finding Delight

While I think there’s some overlap, delight to me seems to be a noticing of pleasures or what I find pleasing, whereas joy seems to be more of an emotional response that can transcend our situation or circumstances. While both are important, I want to focus on noticing on a granular level what I find pleasing in my very ordinary life.

Be the Light

Light as a way of being in the world makes more sense than striving to be right, especially when our view of “right” is heavily biased without us even knowing it.
