Few men make their own choices. Usually we only choose from a few alternatives. Often less then that. Often we relinquish all the control, all the responsibility.

Giving Up Is Better Then Persevering
Giving up is better then not giving up. To give up is to either achieve nothing – or achieve something which is actually authentic. To not give up, to persevere – is to achieve everything which is inauthentic. If it’s authentic then it doesn’t involve discipline. If you must discipline yourself …
All Action is Self-Expression
All action is self-expression. Lack of awareness creates the perceived separation between the action and the actor. This leads to nothing but confusion. To one who mastered himself – action is flowing, effortless, smooth, instantaneous. It does not involve discipline or strength – for it’s but a fundamental component of being.
The Grand Theory of Opportunity, Momentum and Freedom
You are here. You are influenced. You get conditioned. You can only be influenced to the extent to which you are empty. (You can only be sensitive to the extent to which you are empty.) When you have became conditioned – you cease being pliable. When you’re full (of knowledge, beliefs, conclusions, thoughts), …
SPONTANEITY IS CONSCIOUSNESS
Anything done for a “reason” is already corrupted and it’s bound to produce mediocrity. There is only THE DOING.

When You’re Not Looking For Solutions — You Find Ideas
When you’re not looking for solutions — you find ideas. When you’re looking for solutions — your vision is constrained by the question you have asked. Question you now feel compelled to answer. You have a certain problem, certain question, and you must solve it. There are many ways of reaching the solution. There …
Forced Creativity is just REPETITION
Forced creativity is just repetition. How do you enforce creativity? What are you enforcing? You have a standard, an ideal of being creative — and now you try to reach it. This standard is obviously repetition. Or else, it wouldn’t be a standard. So you are just repeating what someone did once, and was …
The More Relaxed You Are The More Creative AND More Effective
Stress is not concentration. Relaxation is not slacking. Stress, biologically, is an organism’s response to a challenge. To put it simply — it quite simply makes you more suited for the challenge. It makes you smarter, faster and stronger. A lovely thing. Only — what is a challenge? Is life a challenge? I like …
