Success Defined!
Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 04:37PM I believe "success" is creating legacy from your destiny, in this lifetime.
Life has never been about material gain; nothing you own will go with you in the end. Rather, it's about the self-mastery achieved from this struggle, and the legacy you leave behind for others.
It once seemed to me that self-mastery was a goal in itself, but then it became obvious. Tiger Woods doesn't think about self-mastery; he thinks about perfecting his shots. Michael Jordon never thought about self-mastery; he thought about winning at basketball. A yogi doesn't think about self-mastery; he's thinks about knowing God. Without mastery, there can be no excellence. Yet, it is the attainment of excellence that breeds self-mastery. You must first discover your destiny. Then, design a compelling vision for your legacy. Think big! From there, bring big dreams to life!

Loren,
I love your "Divine Elements" concept of manifestation. I've always thought of it in terms of a triune (knowing, experiencing, being; mind, body, spirit; thought, word and deed; etc.). They are all representations of the oneness, interrelatedness of all things, where all things (including thoughts) are in fact creations within a never-ending cycle, and could not be otherwise -- and we are the creators.
Great stuff!
