Angela Duckworth in the NY Times:
“You cannot change the conditions of modern life, but you are the sovereign ruler of what enters your personal space. Physical distance creates psychological distance: Draw close what you want more of, push away what you want less.”
Sometimes I’m not even sure I can change what is and isn’t around me, either.
Duckworth wrote Grit, a book that was very popular and left no real tangible mark on my life. She has a new book coming out, apparently.
