You're already successful in many ways. Think of all the things that are right with your life. Build on them, and challenge yourself to achieve even greater success.
Nothing will be of any use to you unless you have the capacity within yourself to know it and accept it. Peace, love, beauty, success and fulfillment have meaning to you only when they have meaning within you. It is by knowing yourself that you can know all else. It is through nurturing love and goodness within you that you can experience love and goodness in the world around you.
There are times when nothing can hold you back. Imagine making today one of those times. There are moments when you're able to focus with absolute clarity and act with maximum effectiveness. You can make this moment one of those moments. What makes the critical difference that creates those times of optimum performance? What makes the difference is a clear and unambiguous connection to purpose.
Whatever you do, do it with passion, with love, with full attention and awareness. Put all you have into even the smallest of acts. The richness of life is in the doing. Fulfillment comes not from getting, taking, having or keeping, but from being and becoming. In every action there is the opportunity for greatness. The more of yourself you put into all that you do, the more successful you will be. This moment is not a practice or preparation. Now is when real life happens.
If something is truly important to the core of your being, then there is most certainly a way to make it happen. When you make the effort and spend the time on what really matters, the rewards will be great indeed. It will never be easy to follow your purpose. For by its very definition, your highest purpose demands the best that you have to offer. Yet following that purpose will fulfill you in a way that nothing else can. To every extent possible, align your priorities to who you truly are. Let your own special greatness light up this world.
What you see, what you think, what you feel, has a reason. What you happen upon, seemingly by blind chance, has a reason. In all that you experience is the voice of your most authentic self, carrying an important, appropriate and timely message. Listen, and seek to lovingly understand what the experience of each moment is saying. All the wisdom you've collected is speaking to you. All the possibilities that spread out in front of you, are calling to you.
