The ultimate reward of life is a tranquil mind…
The ultimate reward of life is a tranquil mind, a mind that is free of fear, a mind that is confident, and takes on every challenge it faces. Success means we experience life instead of endure it. Life does not have to be a struggle. But fear makes us suffer an inner war.
— from The Mind in the Cockpit
In the book
Reflect, so that your experience becomes wisdom and not just mileage. And aim, above all, for what the old teachers called the highest reward of a whole life — not riches, not even being right, but a tranquil mind, one finally free of fear and at rest in itself.
