balance and order and rhythm and harmony

for we cannot make the best of what we are, if our hearts are always divided between what we are and what we are not. we cannot be happy if we expect to live all the time at the highest peak of intensity. happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony. let us, therefore, learn to pass from one imperfect activity to another without worrying too much about what we are missing.

currently reading (thank goodness):

the willpower instinct

by kelly mcgonigal

(having purchased two copies-

one for me, one for my best friend-

i can urge you- strongly- to get your own.

and i won't have a bit of guilt, as

i can promise it will be good for you.)
