For some reason, a blurb I wrote down some time ago popped into my head: "Success is an identity process. If you surround yourself with it, you become it. If you don’t, you won’t." It also reminded me about what Sandra Bullock said:
"I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you. It's what you choose to do with it, the people you choose to surround yourself with. Always choose people that are better than you. Always choose people that challenge you and are smarter than you. Always be the student. Once you find yourself to be the teacher, you've lost it."
This all ties into my goals. There’s no doubt successful people juggle several goals all the time; they just know how to do it successfully – I should find keys for doing the same ... That, or seriously consider cutting a couple of them out, or at least one of them.
I came across this, this morning and liked it enough to add here.
"Courage charms us because it indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world, that he is thinking neither of his bed, not his dinner, nor his money, but will venture all to put in act the invisible thought of his mind."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Late last night, before my prior post, I purged myself of base thoughts and feelings via a poem. A poem I briefly posted but then omitted. Upon completing the last line, I was released from its taint. Interesting how that works ...
At the moment though, I would really love to laugh. That will put the glimmer back into my eyes. What I *am* feeling is steady, serene, and motivated, despite having slept little... I believe a lot of it has to do with the "purge," and with the gift of passion.
I hereby make the following affirmation. Perhaps I can add to it in time.
"I lead a charmed, simple and easy-going life filled with humor, high spirits, love, affection, abundance, integrity and anything in between that nourishes the heart and quickens the soul."
