I love the newsletter The Marginalian by Maria Popova. It's brilliant and so well curated it is almost as if you read an entire life-altering book (or two!) when you immerse yourself in her musings.

She wrote this recently and I cannot stop thinking about it:

"You are the only custodian of your own integrity …"

Custodian - "a person who looks after or is responsible for something."

Integrity - "the state of being whole, undivided."

I am the only one responsible for my own wholeness.

No one else is.

No one else can make me whole.

No one else can make me un-whole.

I am the only one responsible for that.

As are you - You are the only one responsible for your own wholeness.

This is both thrilling and terrifying to me.

What about you?
