“When we calculate risks and incentives and align our desires with reality to achieve inner peace, we may reach self-mastery. Precision offers clarity and reduces insecurity. But we must not ignore the emotional bonds with the lived experience of love and joy. They often transcend metrics, preferring a balance between a rational approach and the priorities of our intuition. (“ Measuring space »)”

“Our shadow, our second self, is grounding us, preventing us from floating away in illusions of perfection and reminding us to remain humble in our complexity. By not denying our shadow, we engage in the chemistry of our identity and turn fear into force and darkness into guiding light. (“Not without my shadow »)”

“When we are unaware of the substance and importance of our choices, we may fall victim to errors of omission or missed opportunities. If awareness arrives too late, the actions we have not taken or the words that were left unspoken may squeeze us into an irreversible void. Lateness can imply irredeemable failure. ("Island of regret.- Island of remorse.")”

“When we learn to listen to others and the little child hidden behind our infatuated thinking, we can drop the futile hurly-burly around us and find the time to focus on what is essential in our lives: peace with ourselves and the world, allowing us to surf on the waves of well-being and happiness. If we manage happiness artfully, we learn to discover the serendipitous quality of love. ("Love as dizzy as a cathedral")”
