About this Quote

This quote by E. B. White speaks to the internal battle much of us face when we wake up in the morning. We are torn in between wishing to make a positive effect on the world and wishing to take pleasure in the world around us. This can make it hard to plan our day, as we are not sure of which desire to focus on. It is necessary to keep in mind that we can do both, which we must aim to find a balance between the two. We can make a difference worldwide while still requiring time to value the beauty of it. We can volunteer our time to assist others while likewise taking some time to relax and take pleasure in the world around us. Discovering a balance between these 2 desires is essential to having a successful and fulfilling day.
