Moderation is the key to mastery

Read this today in "God is a Verb: Kabbalah" and had to share.

'Moderation is the key to mastery. One approaches it slowly. It is not difficult if we are gentle. We cannot force ourselves into a moderate lifestyle, because force and moderation are contradictory terms. Rather, we can embrace moderation in increments, and the excess baggage of our lives will slowly melt away."

I just like the imagery of melting baggage - picturing chocolate suitcases makes me smile.*g*
