Was wondering what'd be an appropriate way of reviving this blog when I stumbled upon this piece on an anon blog. (Don't really know blog-laws, if there are any in the first place, but hope I don't get sued for copying someone's text from someone else's blog!)

All along I thought it was just me who felt this way and was abnormal enough to merit psychiatric counselling and all. But looks like there are a more than a few extraordinary men and women in this league. So let me cut the crap and get to the point! Here are those pearls of wisdom:

As I look back on my life, one of the most constant and powerful things I have experienced within myself is the desire to be more than I am at the moment - an unwillingness to let myself remain where I am - a desire to increase the boundaries of myself - a desire to do more, learn more, express more - a desire to grow, improve, accomplish, expand. I used to interpret this inner push as a meaning that there was some one thing out there I wanted to do or be or have. And I have spent too much of my life trying to find it. But now I know that this energy within me is seeking more than the mate or the profession or the religion, more even than pleasure or power or meaning. It is seeking out more of me; or better, it is, thank God, flushing out more of me.
- From “Notes to Myself”, By Hugh Prather.

Though I'd read this book in parts (Mistake No.1) at different times in life (Mistake No.2) I don't quite remember chancing upon these lines (Mistake No.3)- probably the cheap Indian reprint I bought (Mistake No.4) omitted just this page or I was selectively blinded or some force majeure ripped the page away, waiting to shower it back on me when I was more capable of understanding it (that's holding myself in REALLY high regard right now!) - providence I call it, ignorance - my alter-ego says. What say you?
