Summary

This quote suggests that finding something requires actively looking for it, as it may remain unnoticed if not sought after. It emphasizes the importance of being attentive and actively searching for what we desire or need.

It serves as a reminder that we shouldn't expect things to just come to us; rather, we should actively search, explore, and pay attention to discover what we are seeking.

I'm just one woman away, my mother, from being the same as Mike Tyson. I would've ended up like him if my mama had not been so tough and strong.

The tale is the map that is the territory.You must remember this.
