Do Not Seek Answers You Can’t Live Yet

I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

Rainer Maria Rilke

One does not understand one’s life before one lives it.

One understands their life by actually embracing the adventure of living it.

This is the adventure of your life.

Your questions are your quests that have to be lived and experienced to eventually be answered.
