Reflection

Healing

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. (Reflection 1006)

— Rumi

Why this matters:

Wisdom begins with the realization that the only person we can truly change is ourselves. Every day offers a new opportunity to embody these values. In this 1006th step of our journey, we find that healing requires consistent practice and patience.
