"Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself."
William Martin

It suggests aligning oneself with the natural flow of the universe, allowing things to happen spontaneously without excessive effort or force. This principle often highlights the idea of acting in harmony with the world, rather than against it.
“Choosing to be nice is strength. Feeling compelled to always be nice is weakness. Choosing to be disagreeable, when required, is strength. Always being disagreeable is weakness.”
Mark Manson

“Where focus goes, energy flows. And if you don't take the time to focus on what matters, then you're living a life of someone else's design.”
