Metamorphosis – Caterpillar to butterfly

It’s only when caterpillarness is done

that one becomes a butterfly.

That again is part of this paradox.

You cannot rip away caterpillarness.

The whole trip occurs in an unfolding process

of which we have no control.

The

good

life

is a process,

not a state of being.

Happiness

Probably the biggest insight…

is that happiness is not just a place but also a process. …

Happiness is an ongoing process of fresh challenges, and…

it takes the right attitudes and activities to continue to be happy.
