We Must Become What We Wish To

Feel Deeply To Think Clearly.

I Believe That Earning Your Living Doing Something You Enjoy Is One Of The Very Best Ways To Nourish Yourself. But Even If You Are Employed At Something That Is Not Your Ideal Work, It Is Important To Find Ways To Take As Much Pleasure In It As Possible. Living In The Present Moment Can Make Ordinary Activities More Interesting And Joyful; You May Be Surprised, If You Only Look, At What You Will Find. If You Try To Stay Connected With Why You Are Doing What You Are Doing, For Example, Then Even The Parts Of Your Life That Aren't Especially Interesting Can Become More Meaningful.

The Higher Our Self-esteem, The Stronger The Drive To Express Ourselves, Reflecting The Sense Of Richness Within. The Lower Our Self-esteem, The More Urgent The Need To "prove" Ourselves Or To Forget Ourselves By Living Mechanically And Unconsciously.

We Do Not Hear The Term Compassionate Applied To Business Executives Or Entrepreneurs, Certainly Not When They Are Engaged In Their Normal Work. Yet In Terms Of Results In The Measurable Form Of Jobs Created, Lives Enriched, Communities Built, Living Standards Raised, And Poverty Healed, A Handful Of Capitalists Has Done Infinitely More For Mankind Than All The Self-serving Politicians, Academics, Social Workers, And Religionists Who March Under The Banner Of Compassion.

When Your Principles Seem To Be Demanding Suicide, Clearly It's Time To Check Your Premises
