“Allow for unstructured time in your day-to-day home schedule. Don’t let the vices you conquered on the road–fear, selfishness, vanity, prejudice, envy–creep back into your daily life. Explore your hometown as if it were a foreign land, and take an interest in your neighbors as if they were exotic tribesmen. Keep things real, and keep on learning.

But most of all, keep living your life in such a way that allows your dreams room to breath.”
