there is the noble art of leaving things undone.
The wisdom of life
consists in the elimination of non-essentials.”

This is a new concept for me. I’m one of those people that always has a list of things I should be doing. The list isn’t always on paper but the things are always there in my head. I have a lot of guilt over this. This quote makes me think I need to rethink everything.
