Issue 248
- Before you become a leader, success is all about growing yourself.
After you become a leader, success is about growing others.
- When you judge others,
you do not define them, you define yourself.
- If you happen to be one of the
fretful minority who can do creative work,
never force an idea; you'll abort it if you do.
Be patient and you'll give birth
to it when the time is ripe. Learn to wait.
- Abandon the crowd of distractions and confusions,
and rest in the boundless state without grasping or disturbance;
firm in two practices: visualization and complete,
at this time of meditation, one-pointed, free from activity.
Fall not into the power of confused emotions.
- The first step toward success is taken when
you refuse to be a captive of the environment
in which you first find yourself.
- He that chooses his own path needs no map.
- The virtue of obedience makes the will supple...
it inspires the courage with which to fulfill the most difficult tasks.
- Help thy brother's boat across,
and lo! thine own has reached the shore.
- Refuse to fall down. If you cannot refuse to fall down,
refuse to stay down. If you cannot refuse to stay down,
lift your heart toward heaven, and like a hungry beggar,
ask that it be filled, and it will be filled.
You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heaven.
- Thoughts are but dreams till their effects be tried.
