One more thing
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

“This is what we’ve been looking for since the day we met. Time. That’s what the Good Place really is — it’s not even a place, really. It’s just having enough time with the people you love.”

There are only three answers to prayer— yes, no and wait.
Though the night may come too soon
We have years and years of afternoon.

Fight on

From Tim Ferris
Because I decided that I will not pollute my inbox. And also because I can’t seem to find anything as easily as I can on a blog.
Tried Evernote, Momento, DayOne, GoodNotes…. Go figure.
Good ol’ WordPress seems to be the most visual, and the categories and tags are the best taxonomy-organisers for me.
“Our bodies are apt to be our autobiographies.”
— Frank Gelett Burgess

Jack (LaLanne) used to say it’s okay to take a day off from working out. But on that day, you’re not allowed to eat. That’s the short way of saying you’re not really allowed to get unfocused. Take a vacation. Gather yourself. But know that the only reason you’re here on this planet is to follow your star and do what the Muse tells you. It’s amazing how a good day’s work will get you right back to feeling like yourself.”
