Happy Monday!
I revamped my bookshelf a bit. I haven't been reading as much in 2021, but starting to pick it back up. I also haven't been finishing as many of the books I've been starting.
On a quest to find the books worth re-reading.
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Quick read
For rent // Matthew McConaughey
Days of prosperity make us forget adversity;
Good times seem out of reach during the bad ones;
Both can seem like final destinations, a summation of our days;
Then the cosmic joker plays with our ways;
Yesterday’s condition no longer remains;
All commas no periods, all stops no stays;
The pleasure is for rent and so is the pain.

"You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now." // Joan Baez
Something to ponder
Life is not a journey. Journeys have destinations. Life isn’t about reaching a destination. It’s about living. In that sense, life is a dance. A dance doesn’t have a destination, it is simply about the dance.
