“There was once a man who wanted to be happy,” he began. “So he visited a wise woman. She told him to carry, every day, two stones—one called Disciplina and the other called Destino. When he woke, he must pick them up and carry them until dusk. He did so. At first they were heavy and clumsy, and the people around him laughed. He tried to set them down—fell into old habits, into excuses. The wise woman chastised him. ‘Disciplina is practice,’ she said. ‘Destiny is the horizon you steer toward. One without the other makes you heavy or aimless. Together, they make a path.’”
