Maintenance and healing

The ego likes big, dramatic actions that seem as if they’ll magically change the future. This gives the ego a sense of power. Real discipline is quite the opposite. It’s made up of an endless number of small steps, each of which can seem meaningless on its own. The ego has to humble itself to keep going on a productive course.

"You cannot make evervone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy, because you understand them but they do not understand you. People can only understand us at the depths in which they have met themselves."

For me, the ultimate aim of self-improvement is to be able to direct as much energy as we can outwards – to other people and worthy projects.
