View the events you consider obstacles as perfect opportunities to test your resolve and find your purpose.

The ability to get to a higher level in our life means that we have to generate the energy to be able to do so, and generally, we do that by a fall. Spiritual advances are almost always proceeded by a fall of one kind or another.

Remember, purpose is about giving...All you can do with your life is to give it away in the service of others.

When you meet anyone, treat the even as a holy encounter.

If you still are growing, you go through the archetype of the statesman or stateswoman. You stop asking "What are my quotas?" and stop saying "What is in it for me?" and "How much can I get?" You begin to say, instead, "What are your quotas?" and, "How may I serve?" Providing for others becomes much more important in your life than what you can get for yourself.
