We were sufficiently similar to understand each other easily, and sufficiently different to surprise each other.

203/365 Life has meaning when
|
|
|
|
|
An experience is meaningful when it is related positively to a person’s goals. Life has meaning when we have a purpose that justifies our strivings, and when experience is ordered.

202/365 The argument against freedom
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore freedom does not necessarily help develop meaning in life—on the contrary. If the rules of a game become too flexible, concentration flags, and it is more difficult to attain a flow experience. Commitment to a goal and to the rules it entails is much easier when the choices are few and clear.

201/365 Finding meaning
|
|
|
|
|
The most important step in emancipating oneself from social controls is the ability to find rewards in the events of each moment. If a person learns to enjoy and find meaning in the ongoing stream of experience, in the process of living itself, the burden of social controls automatically falls from one’s shoulders. Power returns to the person when rewards are no longer relegated to outside forces.

200/365 Embrace the moment
|
|
|
|
|
We can either spend this moment wishing it could be different, or we can embrace this moment.
