“Oh, to be a center fielder, a center fielder—and nothing more.”
~ Philip Roth, Portnoy’s Complaint

- Real change starts within.
- Creativity comes from deep inside ourselves.
- Fixing something only works if we start with the core of the problem.
- New ways of living must grow from the core. Or else they’ll fade away.
- Outside help cannot keep inner growth alive. We have to feed growth from within.
- Every system must stand on its own. We need to strive for self-reliance and not depend too much on others.
- Growth depends on internal energy.
- Order and balance is found on the inside of each structure; Not from outside.
- These are universal truths, they work for people, groups, and whole societies.
- What is inborn can truly last and evolve if the center is kept strong.
