Think for a moment of all the people you’ve heard say, “I really should give up smoking,” or, “I really have to do something about exercising more.” They keep saying what they “must” do and they keep resisting doing it, because human beings were not meant to be slaves.

And if we do yield and submit to these demands, our actions arise from an energy that is devoid of life-giving joy.
