His reflections invite us to slow down, listen to our inner signals, and accept our complexity.

Quotes to ponder:
"When you feel unmotivated, don’t try to push through. Instead, take it as a sign that what you’re doing doesn’t matter enough."
"People want to put you in a box, but you contain contradictions. You can be both ambitious and content, both introverted and outgoing."
"Life is richer when you don’t try to resolve contradictions, but instead hold them side by side."
