Notes to myself
My favorite paragraph from my favorite book, ‘Notes to Myself’ gifted by my favorite friend, the book which made my journey from India to Boston a much better experience:
As I look back on my life, one of the most constant and powerful things I have experienced is the desire to be more than I am at the moment -an unwillingness to let my mind remain in the pettiness where it idles– a desire to increase the boundaries of myself –a desire to feel more, learn more, express more–a desire to grow, improve, purify, expand. I used to interpret this inner push as meaning that there was some one thing out there that I wanted to do or be or have. And I have spent too much of my life trying to find it. But now I know that this energy within me is seeking more than the mate or the profession or the religion, more even than pleasure or power or meaning. It is seeking more of me; or better , it is, thank God, releasing of me.
