Where Success Starts

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself. – Mark Caine

That step comes when you believe, sufficiently, in your ability to be okay in some other reality than your current one.

That step comes when you trust that your Identity – and your psychic safety – don’t come from who you think you are now.

That step, and many others to follow, comes when you connect with the perfect, timeless, all-powerful core that is your soul.

Go ahead, take that step, it’ll be okay.

I promise.

  • It’s All Life

    Happiness is a journey, not a destination. For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on…
