  4. #Aspiration: The Agency of Becoming by Agnes Callard

    How do we decide to change our lives when we don't yet understand the value of who we are becoming? Whether choosing parenthood, a new career, or a passion for music, Agnes Callard argues we "aspire." Driven by an early, imperfect glimpse of our future selves, we resolve inner conflict not by simple choice, but by actively working to see the world—and our values—in a completely new way.

  17. A quotation from Jean Kerr

    In the beginning, we made the usual mistake of looking at houses we could afford. I am working on a proposition, hereafter to be known as Kerr’s law, which states in essence: All the houses you can afford to buy are depressing.

    Jean Kerr (1922-2003) American author and playwright [b. Bridget Jean Collins]
    Essay (1955-11), “Our Gingerbread Dream House,” Ladies Home Journal, Vol. 72, No. 11

  19. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    And it is only through imagination that men become aware of what the world might be; without it, “progress” would become mechanical and trivial.

    Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 1 “Postulates of Modern Educational Theory” (1926)

  20. In #life #true #aspiration in #raw #thoughts are just #playing the #role of unspoken #anchors towards #wisdom that came your way.

    An #idea you did not ignore is a #blessing you let somebody else #embrace from within.

    There is no such thing as #peace through #strength because to be strong in #focus is all that is needed to be at peace with that very #ideal as such.
