Self-knowledge is a path, rather than a place, and requires an acceptance of the idea that life happens for us rather than to us; that all of life’s experiences – good, bad, or indifferent – represent an opportunity to take from our previous self and move toward something new. That process of discovering the new self within us never ends because the self is always evolving, but it is in the pursuit of it that we find the most satisfaction in life.  Be patient and life will share its riches with you. And as Buddhists are wont to say: Start when you are ready, but don’t delay!

The calligraphy on this piece reads "Self-knowledge brings happiness."
