You see, we don't know what our goals are. We learn our goals only in the process of getting there. "I don't know what I'm building but I'm going to enjoy building it and when I get through building it I'll know what it is." In doing psychotherapy you impress this upon patients. You don't know what a baby is going to become. Therefore, you take good care of it until it becomes what it will.

What is easiest to see is often overlooked.

Until you are willing to be confused about what you already know, what you know will never grow bigger, better, or more useful.

Life will bring you pain all by itself. Your responsibility is to create joy.

Life is lived in the present and directed toward a future.

Life isn't something you can give an answer to today. You should enjoy the process of waiting, the process of becoming what you are. There is nothing more delightful than planting flower seeds and not knowing what kind of flowers are going to come up.

Don't ask why the patient is the way he is, ask for what he would change.
