"You must always work not just within but below your means If you can handle three elements, handle only two. If you can handle ten, then handle only five. In that way the ones you do handle, you handle with more ease, more mastery, and you create a feeling of strength in reserve." --Pablo Picasso

This is going in both my quote journal and my regular journal, pronto. I've found this to be very, very true, but living in accordance is tremendously difficult in this go-go-go, do-do-do society (especially if one is prone to be plagued by guilt whether justifiably so or not).

Wow, two journals going at at once?
