Kindle Notes & Highlights
The past does not determine your future and a change towards personal excellence can happen in the blink of an eye if you will make a firm commitment to raising your life to its highest level.
Self-mastery is the DNA of life mastery. If you want to lead a corporation,

mistakes in life, only lessons which will allow you to grow and advance higher on the path of self-mastery.
Stop being a prisoner of your past - become the architect of your future. Every event happens for a special purpose. Every problem is a special challenge from which we can learn and prosper to new heights of achievement. Every moment is perfect in nature, whether you realize it or not.

There are no shortcuts to the success
By making small, daily changes on a gradual and consistent basis, your enthusiasm will increase as will the visible results. Small victories always lead to large victories.
