When we are young we are hopeful. We are too naive to know the limits, the constraints, the wear and tear of life. We have not yet experienced despair or exhaustion. We have not yet understood that life is suffering. But perhaps when we grow old we don’t grow wise, but instead we grow blind. Perhaps, we can all be young and it would be better.
When did we accept less. When did our ambition die? When did it become okay for one to be happy but not rich, rich but not happy, to have an impressive career but not a healthy family, to be smart but with no friends, to have values but not a community, to have livelihood but not purpose. When did we stop wanting for something more? Why must we satisfice? Why can’t we win on every level in every metric?
We are too satisfied with a life and a world that can be changed. We have the opportunity now to be more. To have more. To live more.

There is a path. It is the path of no compromise. It is the path of life. It is the path of conscious and soul. It is the path where we can be ourselves to discover ourselves and what we’re truly capable of.
There is no turning back when you see the possibility. When one faces the fact that they are mortal, and have an adventure for them towards the highest calling. One in which you can serve the world and yourself with no sacrifice.
It is the path of equilibrium.
