“Don’t set your heart on so many things.”
—Epictetus, ancient Greek Philosopher

Our hearts can be a bit like our hands — they can only grasp and hold so much.
The media keeps telling us the lie, “You Can Have it All!”
Many who pursue the never-ending journey of MORE eventually consume their lives in a frantic race, rarely feeling extended periods of satisfaction, contentment, and peace of mind.
I love the idea that the best things in life are not things. Traveling lighter with what fills our hearts and nurtures our souls seems far wiser council.
