Making Mistakes, Getting It Almost Right, And

To Achieve Major Success In Life - To Achieve Those Things That Are Most Important To You - You Must Assume 100% Responsibility For Your Life. Nothing Less Will Do.

The True Task Of Spiritual Life Is Not Found In Faraway Places Or Unusual States Of Consciousness. It Is Here In The Present. It Asks Of Us A Welcoming Spirit To Greet All That Life Presents To Us With A Wise, Respectful, And Kindly Heart. We Can Bow To Both Beauty And Suffering, To Our Entanglements And Confusion, To Our Fears And To The Injustices Of The World. Honoring The Truth In This Way Is The Path To Freedom.

Almost Everything We'll Ever Do In Life That Is Really Powerful, That Really Produces A Result In Our Lives, That Quantum-leaps Us To A New Level . . . Requires Us To Do Something Uncomfortable. It Takes Risks To Achieve. It's Often Scary. It Requires Something You Didn't Know Before Or A Skill You Didn't Have Before. But In The End, It's Worth It. As Former Congressman Ed Forman Says, 'winners Are Those People Who Make A Habit Of Doing Things Losers Are Uncomfortable Doing.' Make Today Your Day To Start That Uncomfortable New Habit.

It Is A Universal Principle That You Get More Of What You Think About, Talk About, And Feel Strongly About.

Don't Kid Yourself. Be Honest With Yourself. Take Your Own Inventory.
