it's true - you

Stephen Hawking once said that the more aware an animal is of its environment, the more successful it will be.

I can't help but think how connected this is to Eckhart Tolle's belief that lack of self-awareness is the most concerning human epidemic - that consciousness IS success, personal success and thus a collective success.

And then, conveniently, the Buddha.."It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. It cannot be taken from you."

If we all strive to find our own truth, the truth is inseparable from who we are.

Believe in yourself or at least let me believe in you.
