Daily Wisdom from Sally Kempton’s Awakened Heart:
In this wild new year, I’ve been finding that asking the right question is even more useful than making a resolution.

What your personal, historical self wants is often different than what your impersonal self–the soul–wants. What your heart wants is often different than what you think you should want.

As you keep asking the question, and bringing to consciousness the different layers of longing inside you, they begin to integrate.
