I'm reading "The Road Less Traveled" and "The Beginning of Infinity" at the same time. They each have an overlapping theme that meshes up...

Life is difficult.
Problems are inevitable.
Avoiding solving problems and the emotional suffering inherent with them is the primary basis of all human mental illness
Problems are solvable
By solving problems we grow.

The odd lines are from "The Road Less Traveled." The even from "The Beginning of Infinity"


This is the 3rd time I've read "The Road Less Traveled" It's one of those books that I get something new from each time I read it. This time the books section on attention jumped out at me. That giving someone your attention is a very precious gift. That giving full attention is a lot of work. We must fully commit to doing it.

Put down your cell phone and listen.
