“The warrior’s approach

is to say “yes” to life:

“yea” to it all.

Participate joyfully

in the sorrows of the world.

We cannot cure the world of sorrows,

but we can choose to live in joy.

When we talk about settling the world’s problems

we’re barking up the wrong tree.

The world is perfect. It’s a mess.

It has always been a mess.

We are not going to change it.

Our job is to straighten out our own lives.”

— Hafiz
