A big part of spiritual progression is just giving up. No more striving, no more trying to figure things out, no more fixing. Just total surrender - even defeat. Give into the boredom, there is nothing more to do. And in this total resignation is what you were looking for.
The finest aura is being madly obsessed with the peak of your craft. Pour your love into your work, not into people. A craft always gives back; people rarely do. Master your craft, and people will come on their own.
I have already conquered the world, won the biggest prizes, found peace, made everyone in my life proud and achieved everything I want. I'm just waiting for time to catch up to what i already know.
Flawlessly performing your duty everyday to show to god you deserve your vision is the only way to live, anything less is admittance of a lack of desire or discipline
Whatever happens in your life, have the knowledge that everything is happening for your highest purpose, and thus there is nothing to complain about. Everything is perfect just the way it unfolds.
You will lose your friends, perhaps you will lose your lovers, you will lose your comfort. But if you find yourself while losing them, you will have gained more than a king.
—Marcus Aurelius
I'm increasingly convinced that 99% of success is just the ability to outlast uncertainty. The one who can tolerate the most uncertainty is the one who will eventually win.
