By which my friend Eleutherios assures me is the Kabbalistic (and poetic) equivalent of Steve Pavlina’s three principles of personal growth; truth (wisdom), love (beauty) and power (strength).

Your Solution to the World
After a long day of coaching yesterday, I went out with my fellow coaches for supper at a place I’ve been to a couple of times. I’ve always noticed this indian man, probably in his late sixties, running this little provision store besides the cafe. What I saw for the first time last night was [...]
