"“As something being passed around comes to you, reach out your hand and take a moderate helping. Does it pass you by? Don’t stop it. **It hasn’t yet come? Don’t burn in desire for it, but wait until it arrives in front of you**. Act this way with children, a spouse, toward position, with wealth—one day it will make you worthy of a banquet with the gods.”" --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[mindfulness]], [[essentialism]], [[envy]], [[cravings]], [[self-control]], [[parenting]] **Source** -- [[202409150124 - B - Discipline is Destiny]]
