Can I, as the Sufis ask, “be who I am before I was”? … To be who I am before I was. It was an impossibility; at least it was the rational, ego awake intelligence. To that intelligence the phrase doesn’t even make sense.*
James Carse

If it’s unimportant, never do it.
If it’s important, do it every day.**
Derek Sivers

We are born in possibility, we must not
die in disappointment.

Do we follow the trail of shoulds and miss the
path of musts?^

What must we do to be who we are
before we were?

^Musts come from within, shoulds from others.
