Our success already exists on a spiritual level; it's a matter of pulling it into the physical world.

A nap is not to be confused with sleeping. We sleep to recharge our bodies. We nap to care for our souls. When we nap, we are resting our eyes while our imaginations soar. Getting ready for the next round. Sorting, sifting, separating the profound from the profane, the possible from the improbable. Rehearsing our acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, our surprise on receiving the MacArthur genius award. This requires a prone position. If we're lucky, we might drift off, but we won't drift far. Just far enough to ransom our creativity from chaos.

Success in life is not how well we execute Plan A; it's how smoothly we cope with Plan B.

Let your heart be awakened to the transforming power of gratefulness.

I approach my work with a passionate intensity, acting as if its success depends entirely on me. "But once I've done my best, I try to let go as much as possible and have no expectations about how my work will be received by the world."

Authentic success is being so grateful for the many blessings bestowed on you and yours that you can share your portion with others.

Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.
