With Great Discretion

"There aren’t many rules in life: Drink without getting drunk, Love without suffering jealousy. Eat without overindulging. Never argue. And once in a while, with great discretion, misbehave. No one’s as bad as their worst act and no one’s as great as their best. The secret to life, as always, lies somewhere within the grey nebulae of moderation. Being enough without being extra. I never realized that you don’t need to be the brightest star in the sky to be seen, you only need to be brighter than the night is dark. The magic in life, lies within the ability to manifest or sublimate “enough” of these things, whether they’re emotions, states of being or people."
