STOP AND THINK – The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself. (Anaïs Nin, 20th century American author)
Nin seems to be emphasizing the importance of the mind and personal introspection. When you meditate deeply on all that you are learning and experiencing, you may very well find that your understanding of life will increase beyond your own personal thoughts and ideas. It will give you a new perspective on life and benefit both you and others.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2)
