This quote by Robert Louis Stevenson speaks with the concept of releasing one's ego and concentrating on today minute. To forget oneself is to be devoid of the worries and stress and anxieties of the past and future, and to be content with the present. It is to be devoid of the requirement to compare oneself to others, or to stress over what others consider us. It is to be free from the need to control our environment, and to accept what is. To forget oneself is to be delighted, due to the fact that it enables us to be in the minute and to appreciate the beauty of life. It is to be devoid of the need to be best, and to accept ourselves and our lives as they are. It is to be free from the requirement to be in control, and to rely on that everything will work out in the end. To forget oneself is to be happy, since it enables us to be content with today and to delight in the journey of life.
"I was married to Margaret Joan Howe in 1940. Although not a scientist herself she has contributed more to my work than anyone else by providing a peaceful and happy home"
"Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come, as though that time should be of another make from this which has already come and is ours"
