Men Motive Exception

More From Blaise Pascal

I talk to groups studying the most advanced spiritual teachings and sometimes these people wonder why nothing is happening in their lives. their motive is the attainment of inner peace for themselves - which of course is a selfish motive. you will not find it with this motive. the motive, if you are to find inner peace, must be an outgoing motive. service, of course, service. giving, not getting. your motive must be good if your work is to have good effect. the secret of life is being of service.
Spiritual Selfish Teaching
Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.
Honesty Integrity Love You
All men seek happiness. this is without exception. whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. the cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. the will never takes the least step but to this object. this is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves.
Happiness War Mean
Seek first the kingdom of wealth and you'll worry over every dollar. seek first the kingdom of health and you'll sweat every blemish and bump. seek first the kingdom of popularity, and you'll relive every conflict. seek first the kingdom of safety, and you'll jump at every crack of the twig. but seek first his kingdom and you will find it. on that, we can depend and never worry.
Sweat Safety Worry
True happiness isn't something that can be made. it isn't the result of anything. happiness comes to those who understand that you can't seek it any more than you seek the air you breathe. it is a part of life to be found within living. ... all pursuit of happiness is based upon the false assumption that there is a way to possess it; you may as well try to grab a handful of breeze! happiness is the natural expression of a stress-free life, just as sunlight naturally warms the earth after dark clouds appear.
Meaningful Stress Dark
I had always been taught that the pursuit of happiness was my natural (even national) birthright. it is the emotional trademark of my culture to seek happiness. not just any kind of happiness, either, but profound happiness, even soaring happiness. and what could possibly bring a person more soaring happiness than romantic love.

Compared with more emotional types, vermonters seem to have few passions. but those they have are great and burning. the greatest is their conviction that without freedom human life is not worth living.

The only difference between fear and excitement is what we label it. the two are pretty much the same physiological/emotional reaction. with fear, we put a negative spin on it: "oh no!" with excitement, we give it some positive english: "oh, boy!"
