I take my time. I want to be myself. I don't deny myself in the here and now. This is our practice — we call it aimlessness. We don't put a goal in front of ourselves and run after it constantly. If we do, we'll be running all our life and never be happy. Happiness is only possible when you stop running and cherish the present moment and who you are. Who you are is a wonder, you don't need to be someone else. You are a wonder of life.
