To make an activity joyful, keep adding things until the activity as a whole becomes more appealing than repulsing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right or better.
What we are only now beginning to fully realize is that in seeking material pleasure too constantly, the capacity for enjoyment or fulfillment decreases and eventually becomes exhausted.
Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.
Just keep thinking about the good side of ADD - the creativity and the originality it can stimulate.
To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.
Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.
I believe that contentment or any sustained period of joy that doesn't inspire thought that leads to action almost immediately is useless.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
As far as pleasures, you've got to have limits. You shouldn't have too much of good things, so you'll always have a desire for more and you won't get bored.
Enjoyment is not a goal, it is a feeling that accompanies important ongoing activity.
