"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing of a pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
[33] On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."

"Fear of failure, fear of success is nothing more than a convenient excuse for fear of responsibility and discipline. The means to an end is like an arrow to a target; it must be focused and intentional. If you don’t hit the target, you try again and again until you do. Each attempt building on the last. Life’s bouquet of experiences requires the same attention. If an area of your life is problematic and you refuse to do anything about it or accept responsibility for it, how do you expect it to change. Conversely, just because you do, do something about it, doesn’t mean it’ll change to meet your expectations. Managing life sometimes requires managing expectations. Something you’re involved with is not producing the way you’d like, and while this is frustrating, it is also character building. Take some time to observe yourself and notice what is out of balance. Is there something your overdoing so as to avoid facing something else. You may need to shift your responsibilities or refine your expectations in order to get the results you are looking for."
