Quote by FranÃ§ois-RenÃ© de Chateaubriand

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education & his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction bet

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea of merging work and play seamlessly, without drawing clear boundaries between the two. A true master in the art of living views all activities as opportunities for excellence and enjoyment, blurring the lines between work and leisure, mind and body, education and recreation. They remain focused on their vision and put their best effort into everything they do, letting others decide if it is work or play. Ultimately, they perceive both aspects in any task they undertake, finding fulfillment in the harmony between work and play.

Our faith acknowledges that no two people think, believe, taste, feel, hear, or encounter life in the same way. Those who are disciplined, for whatever reason, to conform to a single commonly held creed seek their own truthful and compassionate ways to live. We give our approval and seek acceptance because it is validating. It frees us to become our best selves. It is our very differences that make it necessary to practice acceptance toward one another.
