THE ESSENCE OF LIFE

"It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish."

Heraclitus (c. 535 BCE-c. 475 BCE) Greek philosopher

Not at all because . . .

• not everything we wish for is in our best interest.
• much of the enjoyment of success is in the quest to achieve.
• today's wish fulfilled often means little or nothing tomorrow.

We are born to strive to achieve, to evolve, to become something better.
