“Have the wit to call upon the highest power and do it as much as you can, even continuously. That would mean you constantly need to be calling yourself forward into the Light and breathing in the Light. Place things that come from you that no longer serve into the Light for the highest good. Release them and let them go into the Light, so that it may be done within God’s power and God’s will.”
— John Morton
“Have you ever felt that sometimes you are your own worst enemy? We all have moments when, no matter how hard we try, things just don’t seem to work out right, when everything goes wrong, and we have no one to blame but ourselves. But, just as you may sometimes be your own worst enemy, you can also be your own best friend. The transition usually occurs when you realize that the only person on earth who can determine your failure or success is you yourself. You may discover your best friend when you develop the maturity and strength of character to accept yourself for the person you are and to take the actions necessary to become the person you wish to be. When you analyze yourself objectively, you can begin to build upon your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses. When you do, you will realize that the only person who stands in the way of your success is you.”
— Napoleon Hill
“If your self-awareness takes you into excessive focus on your faults and shortcomings, you move into a diminished aspect of yourself, your primary mind, and when you focus your awareness on the good in your body, mind, and emotions, you automatically shift into your secondary mind and whole-brain processes.”
