“If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.”
C.S. Lewis
My thoughts:
Ahah! distraction is about not caring enough about what we intend ourselves to be doing ...the question is not what am I avoiding, but what do I really want to do??
I am reading C.S. Lewis again, some books for the fourth time at least, some for the first. enjoying them all! Looking immensely forward to reading the Narnia books to my grandson so I can share in hearing them as if they were new again, which they always will be!
“Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.”
