Quote from Lao-tzu:
Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice.
This is egomania.
Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness.

Nothing that is possible in spirit is impossible in flesh and blood. Nothing that man can think is impossible. Nothing that man can imagine is impossible of realization.
Timothy Ferriss

Robert Kiyosaki
We were not taught financial literacy in school. It takes a lot of work and time to change your thinking and to become financially literate.

Friedrich Nietzsche
"This is the manner of noble souls: they do not want to have anything for nothing; least of all, life. Whoever is of the mob wants to live for nothing; we others, however, to whom life gave itself, we always think about what we might best give in return...
One should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy."
