"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."
~ Marcus Aurelius
It seems to me that the key to this saying is ‘all your heart’. Have I ever done anything with ‘all my heart’? Isn’t that what spiritual masters throughout the ages have called the ‘one pointed focus’? To do or be anything with all my heart means to have joyfully relinquished the long wish list the ego prepares and adjusts daily.
