Life Is Willingness To Die

"The whole fun of the situation of the game is that you don't know the outcome, and that's why it's worth playing. This is one example of a viable game, one that involves a certain combination of skill and chance. Another example of a more ethical type I would call "trusting the game" because if you won't gamble, then you won't play."
Alan Watts

"He who takes the safe road is good as dead. From there nothing more happens, at least not the right things anyway".
Carl Jung

Nietzsche: Amor Fati



Amor Fati: “Love of one’s own fate”, no lingering regrets about anything past and no resistance to being fully awake and living in the present. The good, bad, ugly and the beautiful, all are embraced as interconnected phenomenon which we are powerless to prevent, so why not love what is without any reservation or wishing that things were different. The wounds may not ever heal nor the broken heart fully mend, but here is where divine light enters and illumines the dark confusion, angst and turmoil deep within the murky depths of the wounded soul.

Nietzsche on the Pessimism of Strength:
The trust in life is gone: Life itself has become a problem. Yet one should not jump to the conclusion that this necessarily makes one gloomy. Love is still possible, only one loves differently.” 

The Power of Perspective

"The greatest discovery of my generation is the fact that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind". William James

As A Man Thinketh-James Allen



The human will, that force unseen, offspring to a deathless soul, can hew it’s way to any goal, though walls of granite intervene”.
