the truth of our lives

is what we do. Not what we know, believe, hope, intend, plan, think, say, or even dream. In the end, it's about the acts that fill the hours of our days, the days of our lives.

I once read somewhere that when you're seeking a teacher, for anything, don't look for the person who knows the most. How much they know is less relevant than how fully they have integrated what they do know. Seek out the person who genuinely lives what they teach. Who shows no disconnect between their word and the way they are in every aspect of their life.
