Accepting complete responsibility is the unsung character trait of those who find uncommon success, and failure to accept responsibility is a common trait of those who end up with a mediocre life.

When you tune into your soul essence and are in harmony with the Supreme, you are tapped into your superpowers.

Never allow your life to be dictated by what you can see by sight, be guided by your inner vision.

To achieve success, you need to develop the ability to see through your mind’s eye continuously.

The most successful individuals and leaders achieve their dreams because they have a clear vision they have committed their life to.

Hadewijch

If my friend asks me to sit in a temple belonging to a God that I do not know, because he needs a friend to sit with him, I will be happy to sit there in the foreign temple. Because the temple itself is an outer container only. What is the true religion? What is the inner oil contained by that outer container? The inner oil is the friendship I share with my friend. The true religion is being there to sit beside my friend. If I cannot do this for my friend, then how am I worthy to sit in any temple, whether belonging to a God that I know or to a God that I don't know? If there is no inner oil within my soul, I do not deserve to sit in any temple. Religion is the friendship within the heart, not the place where we sit on a holy day. Religion is the oil within the lamp, not the metal container we see as the lamp.

Waiting for things to happen is like daydreaming. To break out of that cycle, you must be willing to take the first small step.

Quit thinking and take the plunge. The way to get started is to stop talking and start doing.

Success is in direct proportion to the level of consistency in the application of the daily disciplines and actions required.

If your actions are combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.
