By doing what other people want us to do, or think we should do – or by lacking the discipline to keep the main thing the main thing – we are costing the world something.*
Ryan Holiday

In Greek mythos, in the underworld there is a river called Lethe, and to drink of its waters causes one to forget all things said and done. Psychologically this means to fall asleep to one’s actual life.**
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Only you know
what you must do–

The rest of us may guess –
Forgive our surety–

This is your wisdom,
And here is your satisfaction–

There are things aplenty to forget,
The carried things that spoil or obstruct–

The beliefs that were not good,
The directions we tried to push you in–

Only remember who you must be,
Forget whatever would prevent you–

Sacrifice the thing you used to believe, and the ways you used to be. Learning leaves a trail of little deaths.^
