Achievement doesn't come from what we do, but from who we are. _Our worldly power results from our personal power. _Our career is an extension of our personality. People who profoundly achieve aren't necessarily people who do so much, they're people around whom things get done. Mahatma Gandhi and JFK were great examples of this. _Their great achievements lay in all the energy they stirred in other people,_the invisible forces they unleashed around them. _By touching their own depths, they touched the depths within others. _That kind of charisma, the power to affect what happens on the earth, from an invisible realm within is the natural right and function of the son of god. _New frontiers are internal ones, the real stretch is always within us. _Instead of expanding our ability or willingness to go out and get anything, we expand our ability to receive what is already here for us. _Personal power emanates from someone who takes life seriously. _The universe takes us as seriously as we take it. _There is no greater seriousness than the full_appreciation of the power and importance of love. _Miracles flow from the recognition that love is the purpose of our career.

Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry

"

Among the greatest tragedies is a person who believes that they aren't meant to win--by winning I mean find their purpose, passion and joy in life.They believe that other people have better DNA or happiness genes or something, but that they themselves are missing a critical chromosome.This is a lie and it is begging to be un-believed.For the moment we know the truth about ourselves, we can take both responsibility for our own lives and inspired action to create exactly the life which is our birthright.In other words, you were meant to win. You were created for joy.

For, occupied incessantly with the consideration of the limits prescribed to their power by nature, they [philosophers of former times] became so entirely convinced that nothing was at their disposal except their own thoughts, that this conviction was of itself sufficient to prevent their entertaining any desire of other objects; and over their thoughts they acquired a sway so absolute, that they had some ground on this account for esteeming themselves more rich and more powerful, more free and more happy, than other men who, whatever be the favors heaped on them by nature and fortune, if destitute of this philosophy, can never command the realization of all their desires.
