You Can Think, You Can Wait, You Can Fast
To reflect critically on your choices and experiences, to be patient, and to resist distractions that pull you away from your unfoldment, development, and growth.

Siddhartha, born into a life of privilege, yearns for something deeper. He abandons his comfortable existence, embarking on a quest for wisdom and growth. One day, he meets Kamala, a beautiful courtesan, and falls in love.
But to be with her, he needs to make money. Kamala, trying to help, asks him, "What can you do?" "I can think, I can wait, I can fast," Siddhartha replies. "Is that all you can do?" She responds.
Kamala doesn't grasp the profound wisdom in these words. But these seemingly basic abilities are the cornerstones of Siddhartha's journey. They are the skills that have brought him to this point and will eventually help him become a successful merchant.
