Inner Self and Uncertainty
- People possess two levels of self: a superficial ego and a deeper, meaningful self.
- In times of uncertainty, connect with your inner self instead of external sources like technology.
Transformation and Renewal
- Embrace the cyclical nature of life, death, and renewal, even in times of uncertainty.
- Let go of outdated beliefs and be open to not knowing to facilitate learning and transformation.
