“Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

I’d rather be happy and work consciously on clarity of focus without crisis as motivation.

Is there such a thing as a good crisis? I have yet to experience such a thing.
