Just finished Andre Agassi’s Biography. Starting Dune (have never read). Been in a slump. Not sure why. But it’s dark. Good thing about age is experience. I’ve been here before. I’ll be fine. Need more activity. “There is no beauty but the beauty of action.”
I don't believe I've heard that proverb before, so thank you for sharing it. Sorry to hear you're in a slump. I hope you find yourself in higher climes, soon.
Agassi’s book suggests that a life of tranquility and satisfaction, “barbecues and ballgames,” is not compatible with high achievement. All the tennis stars are obsessed with their game, they never say “I’m good enough.” That gloom, the sticky paste of frustration and yearning to achieve our dreams, satisfy our absent fathers, make a lasting impact, be remembered, it can pull you down and it’s also what propels you forward. Onward!
