The Top Secrets of Success and the Pillars of Self-Mastery

All individuals who have attained the highest of levels
generally have cultivated the essential mental habit of optimism.
Without optimism, life loses its luster and hardships appear at every
step of the way. This is an essential life habit.

Today, write down the seven best qualities of
individuals who you admire and post this list by your bed. Then, each

. You have as many reputations as you do acquaintances as
each person you know thinks differently of you. What should truly
concern you is your character. You have full control of this and this is
what you must develop, refine and cultivate. Once your character is
strong and vigorous, then all else that is positive will follow.

If you fill your mind with thoughts of serenity,
positivity, strength, courage and compassion, when someone squeezes you,

Our lives have been described as a parenthesis in
eternity. We are but a small blip on the stage of the Universe. As we
can take nothing with us when we leave, then the real meaning of our
existence must be to give and serve others. Keep this in mind. When you
wake up early in the morning, repeat the mantra: "I will serve others
today, I will care for others today and I will be kind today." This kind
of living will bring you huge returns if you stay on the purpose of
aiding others rather than on the outcome of personal gain.
