"There is this goddess of wisdom. An there's a goddess of wealth. If you pursue the goddess of wisdom, then the goddess of wealth will become jealous and pursue you" -Deepak Chopra's mother telling him a story as a young child
I love this short story. Often times we pursue things and become obsessed by them. It could be something that initially was positive BUT with obsession it becomes negative.
The second sentence is very powerful. It is when we do not obsess but pursue other things that the one thing we want more than anything becomes possible.
I also think that if there is one goddess to pursue it should be wisdom. That is a reason why king Solomon was the richest man of his time. He asked God for wisdom not money.
Today's question is:
"What goddess are you pursuing?"
