CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.” – C.S. Lewis
Two things that stuck out to me about this. I strive to keep my Q’s fresh or original, and in doing so generally end up in the same “style” that I always do. I kept it simple for today, and in doing so got a great workout in and realized I’d probably avoided Dora’s for so long because I was afraid to use them. The bigger takeaway for me, is what this quote says about truth. Someone being truthful will be original nine times out of ten. This made me reflect on how truthful I am, both in words but also in deed and to remain true to those who have placed themselves in my life and to myself as well.
