Personality

to "what is success" is: Success is the power in the individual to get the thing he or she wants, when they want it, in the way they want it, to keep it as long as they want it and when they have included it, let go of it, and pass on to the fulfillment of a new desire. There are those who have the power to get the thing they want and after they have quite outgrown the desire and included all that it can bring them, they are obliged to go on day after day, clinging to the dead body of their old desire. This is not success this is failure; it takes its part indirectly in the fashioning of success, for on every step of their pathway they are learning in this way, the higher mastery and control that is necessary for them to know, and every ounce of power generated on this plane of failure, takes its place in the constructive work of the next step.

This first success method is: "Know Thyself." The one who knows himself and all that the self means, is straight in the middle of the divine channel of life, and he can steer his bark from end to end of the channel without fear of shipwreck, but among the great failure multitude there is only one in a thousand who has any idea of this law. You can ask the vast multitude of the unemployed or you can ask anyone who tells you a story of bad luck and who is weeping and moani
