When I'm on purpose - when I'm allowing Source to come through - it's always there. At those times, I'm not focused on any ego sense about how much I'm going to make, how well a book is going to do, whether people are going to buy it, or any of that. I just go to a state of awe and gratitude - I'm deeply, profoundly grateful - and it just works. The first words out of my mouth every morning are "I thank you."

Enlightenment demands that you take responsibility for your way of life.

You're not what you have and you're not what you do; you're aninfinite, divine being disguised as a successful person who has accumulated a certain amount of stuff. The stuff is not you. For that reason, you must avoid being attached to it in any way.

If you refuse to change your job (if you don't like it), the only sensible thing you can do is practice loving it every day.

Refuse to ever use the term 'failure' again about yourself or anyone else. Remind yourself that wehn things didn't go as planned you didn't fail, you only produced a result.

Be a busy person. People who are active are often much more at peace with themselves than those who are inactive and inert.

By giving children lots of affection, you can help fill them with love and acceptance of themselves. Then that's what they will have to give away.
