“Happiness is not like we were walking around fingering razor blades or anything like that. But it just sort of seems as if - we sort of knew how happy our parents were, and we would compare our lives with our parents and see that, at least on the surface or according to the criteria that the culture lays down for a successful, happy life, we were actually doing better than a lot of them were.” IfsSeemsCultureParentSuccessfulOur LivesWalkingLaysSurfaceCompareHappy LifeBladesCriteriaRazors Author:David Foster Wallace
“Even when our intentions are noble and our efforts sincere, even when we dedicate our lives to the service of others, the corrosive pressure of frantic over-activity can nonetheless cause suffering in ourselves and others.

“Today, people idolize athletes and celebrities - and yes, highly successful and visionary business people like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, but not the innovators who perhaps have not seen such high-flying levels of success.

“One of the best ways to properly evaluate and adapt to the many environmental stresses of life is to simply view them as normal. The adversity and failures in our lives, if adapted to and viewed as normal corrective feedback to use to get back on target, serve to develop in us an immunity against anxiety, depression, and the adverse responses to stress. Instead of tackling the most important priorities that would make us successful and effective in life, we prefer the path of least resistance and do things simply that will relieve our tension, such as shuffling papers and majoring in minors.” IfsWayImportantUseLife IsViewsPathSuccessfulOur LivesNormalPaperAnxietyStressAdversityResponseEnvironmentalPrioritiesBest WayResistanceTensionTargetGet BackMinorsPapersFeedbackEvaluateAdaptedAdverseImmunityTacklingShufflingPath Of Least ResistanceAnxiety Depression Author:Denis Waitley

“Struggle has a natural place in our life, but the fight or flight syndrome is often false struggle. There are times for that but we can have that reaction in areas of our life where it's not successful. Areas that concern existential issues or qualities of life - like meaning or purpose or love. These things actually come to us more as we let go of struggling to achieve them.” PurposeFightingNaturalQualityStruggleIssuesSuccessfulOur LivesAchieveLetting GoAreasConcernReactionsFlightExistentialQuality Of LifeSyndromes Author:Roger Housden
