Happiness Is A Condition That Must Be

We Can Transform Reality To The Extent That We Influence What Happens In Consciousness And Thus Free Ourselves From The Threats And Blandishments Of The Outside World.

When We Are Involved In [creativity], We Feel That We Are Living More Fully Than During The Rest Of Life.

It Is When We Act Freely, For The Sake Of The Action Itself Rather Than For Ulterior Motives, That We Learn To Become More Than What We Were.

It Is As If Evolution Has Built A Safety Device In Our Nervous System That Allows Us To Experience Full Happiness Only When We Are Living At 100%-when We Are Fully Using The Physical And Mental Equipment We Have Been Given.

It Does Not Seem To Be True That Work Necessarily Needs To Be Unpleasant. It May Always Have To Be Hard, Or At Least Harder Than Doing Nothing At All. But There Is Ample Evidence That Work Can Be Enjoyable, And That Indeed, It Is Often The Most Enjoyable Part Of Life.
