"Too often people try to change their lives by using the will as a kind of hammer
to beat their life into proper shape. The intellect identifies the goal of the program,
and the will accordingly forces the life into that shape. This way of approaching the
sacredness of one's own presence is externalist and violent. It brings you falsely
outside yourself, and you can spend years lost in the wilderness of your own
mechanical spiritual programs."
-John O'Donohue
