Goals Transform A Random Walk Into A

For Original Ideas To Come About, You Have To Let Them Percolate Under The Level Of Consciousness In A Place Where We Have No Way To Make Them Obey Our Own Desires Or Our Own Direction. Their Random Combinations Are Driven By Forces We Don't Know About.

We Have All Experienced Times When, Instead Of Being Buffeted By Anonymous Forces, We Do Feel In Control Of Our Actions, Masters Of Our Own Fate. On The Rare Occasions That It Happens, We Feel A Sense Of Exhilaration, A Deep Sense Of Enjoyment That Is Long Cherished And That Becomes A Landmark In Memory For What Life Should Be Like.. Moments Like These Are Not The Passive, Receptive, Relaxing Timesthe Best Moments Usually Occur When A Person’s Body Or Mind Is Stretched To Its Limits In A Voluntary Effort To Accomplish Something Difficult And Worthwhile.

Creativity Is A Central Source Of Meaning In Our Lives...most Of The Things That Are Interesting, Important, And Human Are The Results Of Creativity...when We Are Involved In It, We Feel That We Are Living More Fully Than During The Rest Of Life.

The Task Is To Learn How To Enjoy Everyday Life Without Diminishing Other People's Chances To Enjoy Theirs.

Control Over Consciousness Cannot Be Institutionaliz Ed. As Soon As It Becomes Part Of A Set Of Social Rules And Norms, It Ceases To Be Effective In The Way It Was Originally Intended To Be.
