...gradual change is usually more fruitful in the long run than is forced, ultra-aggressive upheaval. Undertaken wisely, steady transitions cultivate authenticity, groundedness, and virtues--like patience, compassion (for self and others), and perseverance. All these qualities improve your probability of success when, ultimately, you do figure out how to actualize your personal vision. |

Without a quest, life is quickly reduced to bleak black and wimpy white, a diet too bland to get anybody out of bed in the morning. A quest fuels our fire. It refuses to let us drift downstream gathering debris. |

Alienation without must be accompanied by alienation
within; that is the law for every social level, even

harms you, takes away some essential element from your

The how-to-succeed literature would have us forever looking for mountains to conquer. But the world's doers aren't interested in conquering a mountain -- they want to be conquered by it, to fall in love with the adventure and the discovery.
One path is greed, the second is
curiosity. With one, the journey is to a
reward; with the other, the journey is the reward. |

| Quote: |
A human being is part of the whole called by us 'universe,' a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts, and feelings as something separate from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few people nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. |

| Quote: |
Compassion is the intention to think and act as if you are no more entitled to get what you want than anyone else is. This intention is based on the conscious understanding that everyone wants about the same things for about the same reasons. Almost all human desires arise from similar instinctive sources. If you maintain this understanding, arbitrary value judgments about inconvenient people start to fall away, like overripe fruit falling from a tree. The assertion that another person is bad, wrong, weak, lazy, ugly, or stupid is just a disguised assertion that you are more entitled to get what you want than he is. |
