“People get jealous and or feel inadequate when they’re around others who are getting ahead! They feel sad or unfulfilled. Even though you may not be on a level where you desire to be they see you as a high achiever and step back due to competition or insecurity!

They want to have drive and focus but they may not have the talent, or the knowledge to harness their inner gifts and therefore fall by the wayside because of their inability to support you with a clean heart without jealousy!

You’re a star! Get used to it! Ever hear that saying “it’s lonely at the top”? Well yeah, that’s what you’re being prepared for!” – Cerise Fairfax (http://CeriseFairfax.com)

“Be fearless. Taking on the challenge of executing your creative vision can be intimidating, especially when you are passionate about the message you wish to convey. At times, you may get caught up in the numbers. How many people are watching? I encourage you to consider that what really matters is who’s watching.” – Ryan Leslie

“I will put the Law of Pure Potentiality into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

(1) I will get in touch with the field of Pure Potentiality by taking time each day to be silent, to just Be. I will also sit alone in silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately thirty minutes in the morning and thirty minutes in the evening.

(2) I will take time each day to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. I will sit silently and watch a sunset, or listen to the sound of the ocean or a stream, or simply smell the scent of a flower. In the ecstasy of my own silence, and by communing with nature, I will enjoy the lire throb of ages, the field of Pure Potentiality and unbounded creativity.

(3) I will practice non-judgment. I will begin my day with the statement, ‘Today, I shall judge nothing that occurs,’ and throughout the day I will remind myself not to judge.” – Deepak Chopra (from his best-selling book “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success”)

“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them… a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create — so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off…”

“They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.”- Pearl S. Buck :: US novelist resident in China :: (1892 – 1973)

“Since September 11, an entire generation… has gained new understanding of the value of freedom and its cost and duty and its sacrifice. The battle is now joined on many fronts. We will not waiver, we will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and freedom will prevail.” – U.S. President George W. Bush

“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.” – Barack Obama
