“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.”

– Chidi Anagonye, The Good Place 4×12

Why Self-Discipline Is Overrated: The (Troubling) Theory and Practice of Control from Within

Also, something that Master said in relation to handstands rang true or at least challenges what I thought of self-control. He said that if you needed to stay straight and tight in a handstand, you’re not really in control of it.

Sunday’s thought was: “No focus, no problem.” Wonder what anyone else has to say about that.
