I once told a dear friend of the Twelve Riches of Life that were given in a Napoleon Hill book. Something that he had researched for decades.

My friend said that I had missed one out. In retrospect it may be the most important: a sense of humour.

He was not talking about watching comedy but whether we can laugh at the world and especially ourselves. As I meditate on this, I can see how it would fundamentally change my relationship to many problems in life.

If you like this idea, why don't you also ruminate on it? you might be surprised with the revelations.

Stop glossing through inspirational quotes! If it speaks to you, it's got profound meaning.

Do this right now. Close your eyes and sincerely ask your adversity what it wants you to know.

Discover that seed, plant it, water it and give it the best chance to grow.

Even the Wise need friends and allies. To think we can accomplish our missions alone, by sheer force of personal will is folly. To believe so is a trick of our minds, our ego.
