Quote by Alan Watts

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollown

Summary

This quote suggests that neither work nor love can thrive if they are driven by negative emotions such as guilt, fear, or a lack of genuine passion. It emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment, as those who are incapable of fully experiencing life in the present will struggle to make meaningful plans for the future. To be successful in work and love, one must have a heart filled with authenticity, passion, and joy.
