Happiness

"Don't aim at success -- the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensure...as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself." - from Viktor Frankl, the Austrian psychologist, in the preface to his book, "Man's Search for Meaning"

"The positive aspects of human experience -- joy, creative, the process of total involvment with life call flow." "Happiness, in fact, is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy." - from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's "Flow"
