Innate Well of Contentment
“On the Wind” | Anthony Satori
“We should purify our innate well of contentment, and then external things will be in harmony with us.”
– Eckhart Tolle
Compassion and Strength
“Compassion and Strength” –|– Anthony Satori
Compassion and strength are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they are not even at odds. True compassion is rooted in carefully cultivated principles, universal love, and clear-eyed reason. This highest version of compassion both informs and enhances strength by imbuing it with righteousness, clarity, and drive. True strength, in the same way, is rooted in wisdom, self-discipline, and courage. This highest version of strength empowers compassion by providing it with the peace and security it needs to perform at the highest levels of efficacy, humaneness, and virtue.

The True Fountainhead
“Drink Deeply” –|– Anthony Satori
“For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupery
On Boughs Too Slight
“On Boughs Too Slight” –|– Anthony Satori
“Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.”
— Victor Hugo
Hummingbirds’ Delight
“Hummingbirds’ Delight” –|– Anthony Satori
“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”
— Desmond Tutu
On the Wings of the Night Wind
“Doves” –|– Anthony Satori
“Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind, and I don’t worry about my destiny.”
— Carl Sandburg
Don’t worry about destiny. It is beyond our reach, and it can be overwhelming. Instead, slow down, take a deep breath, and focus on this moment. In this day, in this hour, in this minute, pay attention and be present. And then consciously choose to do something meaningful, something beautiful, something loving, something constructive — however small it may be. It is the cumulative effect of these choices over time that create a valued destiny. Legacy is built one brick at a time. It is built by showing up every day, by paying attention, and by consciously infusing your time and space — your words, your thoughts, and your actions — with optimism, creativity, gratitude and love.
Open Wings
“Open Wings” –|– Anthony Satori
“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.”

The Light That I Have
“In Flight” –|– Anthony Satori
“I may not be bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I may not be bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have.”
— Abraham Lincoln
