Once Is Enough, Once Is Forever - Day 107

  • Perhaps wisdom and happiness are like winning a medal in the Olympics. It doesn't matter whether you won just once or in multiple events, a hundred years before or just now and it doesn't matter whether you never compete again. You'll always be a medalist, and you'll always know what it feels like. No one can take that away - and it would be impossible to feel more of that feeling.
  • Perhaps today will be the day we experience happiness or wisdom. Don't try to grab or hold on to it. Enjoy it, recognize it and remember it. Having it for a moment is the same as having it forever.
