There is no real, lasting joy in proving that you’re better than
\nsomeone else. Yet there is endless joy and fulfillment in being the
\nbest that you can be.<\/p>\n
It will ultimately mean nothing that you’ve collected a large store of
\ntrinkets and worldly possessions. Yet it can truly mean everything when
\nyou have worked to create real value for yourself, your world, and
\nthose around you.<\/p>\n
There is nothing of any value that you will gain by deception. Yet
\nthere is a whole universe of richness to be experienced when you seek
\ntruth.<\/p>\n
Each time you set out to cheat life, you will end up cheating yourself.
\nYet whatever you freely and lovingly give, will be yours in
\never-increasing measure.<\/p>\n
Success in life comes not from gaining any kind of secret or exclusive
\nadvantage. Real success comes from openly and authentically being the
\nunique, immensely valuable person you are.<\/p>\n
Reach into yourself and touch those things that truly matter. The best of life can be yours this very moment.<\/p>\n
– Ralph Marston<\/p>\n
Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.
\n– Martha Graham<\/p>\n
Comparison and competition are meaningless to an awakened soul. The
\nonly issue of importance is your connection to your inner spirit and
\nyour willingness to live from it.
\n– Alan Cohen<\/p>\n
The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, but in what direction we are moving.
