Nature attunes children to receive the coded messages that parents issue how to live a joyful and virtuous life.

An enlightened person strives to live a meaningful life, defined by their personal humility joy, passion, and profound reverence for life.

Life is full of unanswerable questions including how to live and what to live for. It takes extreme courage to live honestly by a person’s beliefs and never rest until a person achieves the type of life that he or she envisions.

We each want nothing more than to live for the moment. Nature hardwired us perpetually to follow the call of the wild, cull all the highs in life, and rejoice in life by dancing, singing, jumping, building nests, creating beauty, and playing with our young. We each find ourselves happiest when we are engaging in conduct that makes us feel alive.

What we depend upon for happiness and a sense of fulfillment is reflective of our self-giving character forged through a variety of evocative experiences.

A person must never cease striving to enjoy life. It takes wit, interest, and energy to be happy.

Personal happiness and marital love can prove fleeting or it might be revivified after enduring terrible ordeals.

We distill happiness from garnering joy in the ordinary fragments of life, while dedicating personal effort to creating a body of work that one can look back on their deathbed and be satisfied with achieving. Happiness comes from living beautifully, which necessarily involves reason in thought and speech (logos), and leading an ethical and virtuous life devoted to achieving worthy goals.

Unselfishly loving other people and extending compassion to everyone is essential to live an honorable, happy, and self-fulfilling life. A person must fearlessly love in an uninhibited manner and express their love in an open manner without reservation or qualification.
