Wake Up In The Morning

We Have Learned How To Develop Five-minute And Even One-minute Managers. But We Would Do Better To Ask Ourselves What It Takes To Be An Executive Who Helps Build A Better Future.

The Best Moments In Our Lives Are Not The Passive, Receptive, Relaxing Times...the Best Moments Usually Occur When A Person's Body Or Mind Is Stretched To It's Limited In Voluntary Effort To Accomplish Something Difficult And Worthwhile.

The Solution Is To Gradually Become Free Of Societal Rewards And Learn How To Substitute For Them Rewards That Are Under One's Own Powers. This Is Not To Say That We Should Abandon Every Goal Endorsed By Society; Rather, It Means That, In Addition To Or Instead Of The Goals Others Use To Bribe Us With, We Develop A Set Of Our Own.

Try To Be Surprised By Something Every Day.

To Know Oneself Is The First Step Toward Making Flow A Part Of One's Entire Life. But Just As There Is No Free Lunch In The Material Economy, Nothing Comes Free In The Psychic One. If One Is Not Willing To Invest Psychic Energy In The Internal Reality Of Consciousness, And Instead Squanders It In Chasing External Rewards, One Loses Mastery Of One's Life, And Ends Up Becoming A Puppet Of Circumstances.
