The Good Life Is a Process
I deeply appreciate this quote from Carl Rogers, one of the founders of Humanistic Psychology.
“I have gradually come to one negative conclusion about the good life. It seems to me that the good life is not any fixed state. It is not, in my estimation, a state of virtue, or contentment, or nirvana, or happiness. It is not a condition in which the individual is adjusted or fulfilled or actualized. The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.” — Carl Rogers, from On Becoming a Person
Inner Freedom
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms- to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
Victor Frankl from Man’s Search For Meaning
Ambivalence
All of our suffering in life is from saying we want one thing and doing another.
