“When I think of nourishing the soul, I think of nurturing the ability to respond positively to life – that is, the ability to sustain passion for our interests, values, and projects. I believe that the worst of all spiritual defeats is to lose enthusiasm for life’s possibilities… Two things are needed: an ability to appreciate the positives in our life – and a commitment to action. Every day, it’s important to ask and answer these questions: “What’s good in my life?” and “What needs to be done?” The first question keeps us focused on positives; the second keeps us proactive and reminds us that we are responsible for our own happiness and well-being.”
