Wrapping up the Center Garden

I feel the need to post a sort of concluding message about the center garden. The message of that garden is fairly simple though so I don't expect this to be a long post. I must remind myself that not every post needs to be long. Part of this is an exercise in the practice of writing.

We've looked at the broad ideas of the center garden. That you must find a balance within yourself. Learn about yourself. Love yourself. Find what you enjoy, what you do well. Take pride in yourself. Be realistic though. Know your limitations as well and your weaknesses.

You don't need to wait until you die to find serenity and joy. You don't need to give up parts of yourself to be happy. It may be difficult and work and a challenge but you can be happy with this life. You just need to know yourself first, mentally, emotionally, physically.
