Lay your ego down. Step out of your ego so you can recognize the truth. As soon as I did that, I was able to see the role I had played in creating "my circumstances," without blaming other people.

Do what you love, give it back in the form of SERVICE, and you will do more than succeed. You will TRIUMPH!”
