It’s admirable and healthy to go after our dreams, know what we want to accomplish, what we want to achieve, get, and gain. But whether it’s a person, place, attribute, value, or thing, after we identify what it is we want and are seeking, then we need to let it go and know, not in our minds although that’s a good place to start, but in our hearts and souls that we’re okay — whole, complete, and at peace — whether we ever get what we’re after or not.
Melody Beattie, Playing It By Heart, p. 175
