Don’t worry too much what other people think of you. You and they were born equal, and 100 years from now you and they will be nothing more than dust—equal again.

The conflict, the feeling of separateness, the judgement, is all an illusion. You’re in your body for a very short time within a very long game that is the universe.

This doesn’t mean you get to do whatever you want—your actions still have consequences, and you should be mindful of how they impact your own mind, body and soul as well as others’.

But don’t mistake your actions or their results as defining who you are. Be intentional. Do what you believe is right. Embrace the reality of every moment as it is. That is all.
