The Paradox of Action and Stillness

 To move outward, you must first turn inward

 Elaboration: You strive to act in the world, to make your mark, but the Mad Mage discovered that before you can act outwardly, you must first turn inward. The inner world, with its quiet depths and silent wisdom, is the source of all meaningful action. Only by turning inward, by listening to the voice of your soul, can you move outward with purpose and power.

 Reflection:

Consider how often you act without first reflecting on your inner state. How might turning inward before acting help you move with greater clarity, purpose, and effectiveness? What does your inner voice say when you take the time to listen?
