To relate oneself expectantly

to the possibility of the good

is to hope.

To relate oneself expectantly

to the possibility of evil

is to fear.

By the decision to choose hope

one decides infinitely more

than it seems.

You have the need and the right to spend part of your life caring for your soul. It is not easy. You have to resist the demands of the work-oriented, often defensive, element in your psyche that measures life only in terms of output – how much you produce – not in terms of the quality of your life experiences. To be a soulful person means to go against all the pervasive, prove-yourself values of our culture and instead, treasure what is unique and internal and valuable in yourself, and your own personal evolution.

~Jean Shinoda Bolen
