“Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and pos sibly broken.
If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal.
Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all en-tanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfish-ness.
But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change.
It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation?”
— C.S Lewis

@sharran You can’t force success on your schedule. What you can do is become so disciplined, so skilled, and so consistent that when opportunity arrives, you’re ready for it. That’s the only part you truly control. 💯
@readswithravi Not every book needs to make you richer, more productive, or more successful. Sometimes the greatest gift a book offers is perspective.
Curiosity pulls your attention away from endless worry and into discovery—and a mind that’s learning is often a mind that’s healing.
