I read this quote this morning, and due to its length I had to share it here:

“We can’t become anything we want to be. We come into this world with a specific, personal destiny. We have a job to do, a calling to enact, a self to become. We are who are from the cradle, and we’re stuck with it. Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it. If we are born to paint, it’s our job to become a painter. If we are born to raise and nurture children, it’s our job to become a mother. If we were born to overthrow the order of ignorance and injustice in the world, it’s our job to realize it and get down to business.”–Steven Pressfield

This quote might seem to contradict standard metaphysical principles, which would encourage the thinking that one COULD indeed be anything one desires, but it doesn’t. It is a reasonable statement of the nature of our limitless potential and the context in which that potential can be realized.

The following quote is a terrific one that highlights how the way you think of yourself affects your reality and your experience in it:

“Ramakrishna once said that if all you think of are your sins, then you are a sinner. And when I read that, I thought of my boyhood, going to confession on Saturdays, meditating on all the little sins that I had committed during the week. Now I think one should go and say, ‘Bless me, Father, for I have been great, these are the good things I have done this week.’ Identify your notion of yourself with the positive, rather than with the negative.”–Joseph Campbell

Think on the positive things about yourself and your life each day, and you will experience more of those things as a matter of law. Law of Attraction.

This morning, I took my Myers-Briggs personality test AGAIN with the following results:
