The First Love Affair You Must Consummate

Integrity Is The Integration Of Ideals, Convictions, Standards, Beliefs-and Behavior. When Our Behavior Is Congruent With Our Professed Values, When Ideals And Practice Match Up, We Have Integrity.

Loving Consciously Does Not Mean Subjecting Your Relationship To Endless Analysis. It Means Something Much Simpler: Paying Attention. Noticing. This Requires Presence.

For The Rational, Psychologically Healthy Man, The Desire For Pleasure Is The Desire To Celebrate His Control Over Reality. For The Neurotic, The Desire For Pleasure Is The Desire To Escape From Reality.

Living Consciously Is Seeking To Be Aware Of Everything That Bears On Our Interests, Actions, Values, Purposes, And Goals. It Is The Willingness To Confront Facts, Pleasant Or Unpleasant. It Is The Desire To Discover Our Mistakes And Correct Them . . . It Is The Quest To Keep Expanding Our Awareness And Understanding, Both Of The World External To Self And The World Within.

If You Face Life Without Confidence In Your Own Powers, You Succumb Too Easily To Setbacks And Adversity; You Lack The Will To Persevere.
