“At some point, though, I arrived at acceptance—of my limits, and, in a way, my mortality. I came to appreciate how the earth rotated around the sun and the seasons came and went without any particular exertions on my part.”

I’ve had this quote from Barack Obama’s book The Audacity of Hope in my phone for at least two years not knowing what to do with it. As I get close to 30, I like it more & more. This quote leads into him saying how it was this realization that brought him to run for senate. Still not sure what this acceptance did for me.
