“In calmness of mind is greatness.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from This Is My Life, chapter 3
In other words
A calm mind is not an empty one. Innocent describes his as a city that used to let anyone in — every hurtful comment got citizenship, every stranger’s opinion walked the streets unchecked. What changed is who gets a visa now. The greatness is not in never being disturbed. It is in deciding, finally, who is allowed to disturb you.
