Our Overpacked, Overburdened, and Overwhelmed Lives
The irony is that the more we try to cram into our already overpacked lives, the morescattered and fragmented our lives become. And when that happens, we lose sight of what’s most important to us. We are let down, disappointed, confused, unfulfilled.

Happiness: It’s What One Emphasizes That Counts
One of my favorite quotes is Carlos Castaneda’s:
“The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.”
I love this quote because it reminds me of how hard I used to work, just because I believed that working that hard would make me happy. It didn’t, and I think that if work was going to make me happy, eighty to one hundred hours a week should have done it.

Awareness: How You Live is Who You Are
I’m always amazed at what people say about themselves sometimes, and how that really contrasts with what they do. What’s the quote? Something about what you do speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you say.
That sentiment means so much to me, because I know that in spite of wanting to be generous, patient, compassionate, and thoughtful, I am often selfish, impatient, intolerant and closed-minded.

Get Rid of Your Lack of Motivation Once and for All
Have you ever been in a job interview, and had the interviewer ask you if you were “self-motivated?” Have you ever wanted to answer with something like, “Who else, exactly, would be motivating me?”
Most of us do things every day like go to work, for ourselves or someone else, and do the work in front of us to do, whether we want to or not. Before that we got out of bed, got dressed, ate breakfast, took a shower, brushed our teeth.
All of those things take motivation, and if you’re not self-motivated, who’s motivating you?

In effect, the idea seems to be that smart people aren’t spiritual; that people who are spiritual are somehow stupid enough to be “gulled” into believing something that obviously can’t be true. I really have a problem with this outlook for four reasons:
