YEAR OF ZEN: AUTUMN: DAY 46

Three Philosophers - Giorgione

Q: How do you motivate yourself to do your best?

A: I have tried to build a strong code of ethics and way of living that allows me to continually grow towards my best self. This is tempered with flexibility to change as my perspectives shift with experience. It is a system that has served me well, but I am fully cognizant that any illusion of control over how I am remembered will go with me when I die. Consequently, part of my ethic is to care about and show love and kindness to those around me that I implicitly rely on. Non of us does this alone.
