Optimal Experience Is Thus Something

We Cannot Deny The Facts Of Nature, But We Should Certainly Try To Improve On Them.

Unless A Person Knows How To Give Order To Her Thoughts, Attention Will Be Attracted To Whatever Is Most Problematic At The Moment.

Jane Fonda, Who Divided Her Life Into Three Acts, Decided After Her Sixtieth Birthday That She Was Now Facing The Final Act, And Came To The Following Conclusion: "i Thought To Myself, Well If That's The Case And If What I'm Scared Of Isn't Death, But Getting To The End With Regrets, Then I've Got To Figure Out What Would Be The Things That I Would Regret When I Got To The Last Act If I Hadn't Done Them Or Achieved Them By Then. And They Were: Having An Intimate Relationship And Having Made A Difference."

Contrary To What Most Of Us Believe, Happiness Does Not Simply Happen To Us. It's Something That We Make Happen, And It Results From Doing Our Best. Feeling Fulfilled When We Live Up To Our Potentialities Is What Motivates Differentiation And Leads To Evolution.

One Of The Surest Ways To Enrich Life Is To Make Experiences Less Fleeting.
