The psychic entropy peculiar to the human condition involves seeing more to do than one can actually accomplish and feeling able to accomplish more than what conditions allow.

A joyful life is an individual creation that cannot be copied from a recipe.

Unless a person knows how to give order to her thoughts, attention will be attracted to whatever is most problematic at the moment.

When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. They become rigid and defensive, and their self stops growing.

For better or worse, our future will be determined in large part by our dreams and by the struggle to make them real.

Only direct control of experience, the ability to derive moment-by-moment enjoyment from everything we do, can overcome the obstacles to fulfillment.

Enjoyment appears at the boundary between boredom and anxiety, when the challenges are just balanced with the person's capacity to act.
