"Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half-awake. Our fires are damped, our drafts are checked. We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources." — William James
And yet there is a peace to be discovered through ceasing to strive and struggle, in just being with what is, in just accepting how things are, in relaxing the need to be always thinking over ones life and everything that should be other than it is. And then perhaps a new energy is found to go about it with greater vigour.
