“As the sun does not wait for prayers and incantations to rise, but shines forth and is welcomed by all: so you also should not wait for clapping of hands and shouts and praise to do your duty; but do good of your own accord, and you will be loved like the sun.”
“When a man really desires a thing so deeply that he’s willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win. Psychologists have correctly said ‘when one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.’ Opportunity has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.”
The great materialistic progress which we have venerated for so long is on the verge of bankruptcy. We can no longer believe that we are born into this world to accumulate wealth and abandon ourselves to mortal pleasures. We see the dangers and realize that we have been exploited for centuries. We were told the twentieth century was the most progressive that the world has ever known, but unfortunately the progression was in the direction of self-destruction.
The Secret Teachings of All Ages, Manly P Hall
(via natsufatsu)
In every walk of life, success depends upon discipline. Somewhere in the development of the character of each individual, he must
bow to law and order. If he fails to make this adjustment he will remain unsuccessful. Each person must in some way subjugate his own nature to the needs of his own life. He must take the time, he must go through the efforts, he must gradually classify his activities, and organize them for the very purpose of survival.
Manly P. Hall: Self-Direction, Conscious Growth and Attention
When you are in the right mindset at the right time.
When you synchronize with the right people on a similar frequency.
When you come to recognize the truth of manifestation.
And now that it’s happened again, and I have become more aware of the endless possibilties of where my life can go, I can’t help but keep laughing to myself, to think of how distraught I was, how vastly disappointed. But with each misfortune, also came blessings. With each adversity, I was gifted with new eyes to see. With each setback, was a new opportunity gained.
Never had I ever imagined that life could fulfill my deepest passions and desires, in such a calculated, intricate way, that it almost feels like one great cosmic joke to the Universe. What are the chances that no matter how contradicting you are, no matter how multifaceted and complex, God always provides.
