Amor fati

Amor fati is a Latin phrase that may be translated as “love of fate” or “love of one’s fate”. It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one’s life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary.[1]

Amor fati is often associated with what Friedrich Nietzsche called “eternal recurrence“, the idea that, over an infinite period of time, everything recurs infinitely. From this he developed a desire to be willing to live exactly the same life over and over for all eternity (“…long for nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal”).[2]

Amor fati Is also talked about in stoic philosophy. Source: Amor fati – Wikipedia

Daniel Burnham on Planning

“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably will not themselves be realized. Make big plans, aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us.”

Great words from a great man. After the great Chicago fire in 1871, Daniel Burnham was the man with the vision that became the current city of Chicago. Read more about his life here. And make no little plans from this point forward…

“The Summer Day” by Mary Oliver

Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper?
