Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for.

Some forethought and planning can do wonders for your schedule and sanity. Try to work ahead a little when you can. Try to predict what you will need to do next. This will give you a safety net in case unexpected things come up, or it could free up some of your time so you can rest and relax. In any case, it will make things easier and less stressful. You’ll also be a bit more actively aware of how you are choosing to spend your time.

A purpose does not just happen, it is cultivated.

During intellectual droughts one shower of good ideas can cause a flash-flood to wash away the roads your habits travel.

People have some really crazy ideas about love, friends and relationships. They have the absurd belief that their friends, children, family, lovers and companions can make them happy.

The intellect can only think about or analyze joy, but cannot feel it.
