उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत "Arise, awake; approach the wise and understand." — Kaṭha Upaniṣad 1.3.14

✦ ✦ ✦ Most of us are not lost. We are asleep at the wheel of a life we chose. The direction was rarely the problem. The forgetting was.

You know the feeling. The days move, the calendar fills, and something inside stands still. Not unhappy. Not awake either. 🌌

So ask the plainer question — not where am I going, but am I here for any of it.

👉 The 7 Habits Commitment, with Dr. Vincent Keny, is a short set of questions honestly answered. 👉 No score decides your worth. It shows you where you are standing, which is all a mirror can do. 👉 And nothing moves until you are willing to look.

Vivekananda rendered that verse as "Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached." The Sanskrit is gentler: go to those who know, and understand.
