True wisdom usually holds and transcends opposing points of view. Wisdom knows that there is always an exception to the rule, that there is a time and place, and that a case-by-case approach is divine protocol.
If you can comfortably hold your paradoxes, you’re going to be just fine. @DanielleLaPorte (Click to Tweet!)
Because I’m suggesting that you:
- Love yourself first and foremost and… Include the world in your loving (and then get off your ass and be more selflessly engaged).
- Raise your standards and… Be more flexible and accommodating.
- Forgive and… Don’t forget.
- Honour spiritual traditions and… Be your own guru.
- Be open-hearted and… Have clear, strong boundaries.
- Be understanding and… Don’t take any sh-t.
- Have a vision and… Go with the flow.
- Trust and… Do the work.
- Get real and… Be idealistic.
- Be steadfast in your Truth and… Make all kinds of exceptions.
- Have strong preferences and… Be easy to please.
- Lead with your heart and… Your head.
- Own your extraordinariness and… Your ordinariness.
Because it’s up to you and…we’re all in this together.
And hey, we have all the time in the world, but… this is urgent.
