Fernando Wadskier

Time and energy are the same force, and they are all we are ever given. Every hour we live is energy passing through us. What matters is not how much of it we hold, but what we do with it before it moves on.

I believe we are here to serve. Not to be admired, not to collect, but to leave every person, every place and every moment with more energy than we found. That is the only measure I trust, and the one I want to be judged by.

Serving begins with taking care of the vessel. Sleep, movement, stillness, curiosity. The discipline to keep going, and the kindness to forgive yourself when you don't. You cannot give what you do not have.

Patience and kindness have been the hardest lessons of my life, and the most important. I am still an apprentice of both. Life has a pace we cannot hurry. What we control is our effort, our reactions and how we invest the time we were given.

I believe in humankind. We are still early, and our best chapters are unwritten. Every person who learns to see their own life clearly makes all of us a little more awake, and moves our species forward.

Light wins in the long run. Not because darkness disappears, but because each of us chooses, every day, to face it inside ourselves.

I am here to serve and to enjoy life, in that order.

Fernando
