Perform With Elan, Brilliance And Dash -

Problems Are Solved Only When We Devote A Great Deal Of Attention To Them And In A Creative Way...to Have A Good Life, It Is Not Enough To Remove What Is Wrong With It. We Also Need A Positive Goal, Otherwise Why Keep Going? Creativity Is One Answer To That Question - It Provides One Of The Most Exciting Models For Living.

Attention Is Like Energy In That Without It No Work Can Be Done, And In Doing Work Is Dissipated. We Create Ourselves By How We Use This Energy. Memories, Thoughts And Feelings Are All Shaped By How Use It. And It Is An Energy Under Control, To Do With As We Please; Hence Attention Is Our Most Important Tool In The Task Of Improving The Quality Of Experience.

A Self That Is Only Differentiated - Not Integrated - May Attain Great Individual Accomplishments, But Risks Being Mired In Self-centered Egotism. By The Same Token, A Person Who Self Is Based Exclusively On Integration Will Be Well Connected And Secure, But Lack Autonomous Individuality. Only When A Person Invests Equal Amounts Of Psychic Energy In These Two Processes And Avoids Both Selfishness And Conformity Is The Self Likely To Reflect Complexity.

For Better Or Worse, Our Future Will Be Determined In Large Part By Our Dreams And By The Struggle To Make Them Real.

It Is By Becoming Increasingly Complex That The Self Might Be Said To Grow.
