As someone on sabbatical, i really resonated with today’s quote from wise Seneca from his work, On Tranquility of Mind (17.5):
The mind must be given relaxation - it will rise improved and sharper after a good break. Just as rich fields must not be forced - for they will quickly lose their fertility if never given a break - so constant work on the anvil will fracture the force of the mind. But it regains its powers if it is set free and relaxed for a while. Constant work gives rise to a certain kind of dullness and feebleness in the rational soul.”
Seneca is talking about what we now call work-life balance. The mind, like our muscles, must be given both chances to work AND changes to rest. Too much of either is detrimental.
With that said, I’m going to get back to my family.
Y’all have a merry day, filled with as many blessings as you can find!
(See y’all tomorrow)
