Recently read Swami Sukhabodhananda’s thoughts on “living wisely.” He contrasts Friedrich Nietzsche’s “live dangerously” by suggesting wisdom while living, or rather in living.
While living dangerously has its moments, it’s equally vital to find joy and contentment in calm times.
Swami Sukhabodhananda highlights that poor self-esteem limits us. We should “learn to be unreasonable,” pushing beyond these limits. Powerful people achieve this by surpassing their diffident minds.
Ultimately, we need a balance of past, present, and future, while living fully in the present.
