Kindle Notes & Highlights
Fate guides the willing, but drags the unwilling.”
“Everywhere, at each moment, you have the option, to accept this event with humility, to treat this person as he should be treated, to approach this thought with care, so that nothing irrational creeps in.” —Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7:54
“These two things must be cut away: fear of the future, and the memory of past sufferings. The latter no longer concerns me, and the future does not concern me yet.”
If you accept that things are only yours for a time, then you can be happy you had them while you did and not fall apart when they’re gone.
Giving a person the space to grow does not require you to remain in a dangerous position.
You can move past hurt, resentment, and fear and gain a willingness to love and accept others. Still, situations exist where Wisdom demands we walk away.
