97. A Constant Influence

“You can’t just do your Alexander at 11:30 in the morning and lead a normal life the rest of the time… It is something you just have to recognize, that it has the first claim on your thought and attention all the time. If you find that boring and restricting, that is very definitely your fault because you haven’t taken the trouble to think in terms of expansion and growth and development. You will find, if you do so, that in fact it does make life easier and not more difficult, it does decidedly make it more enjoyable rather than make it more unpleasant. That is to say it can do so.”
(Taken from “Thinking Aloud” – The Demand of the Constant)
