Some say that success is the result of a combination of hard work and luck, or determination and talent, or being in the right place at the right time.
- What the world doesn’t know, is that you cannot become successful. You can only be successful.
There is a sense of quality in what you do, even the most simple action.
- Quality implies care and attention, which comes with awareness.
- Quality requires your Presence.
Unconscious assumption is that success is a future event, and that the end justifies the means. But the end and the means are one.
- If the means did not contribute to human happiness, neither will the end.
- The outcome, which is inseparable from the actions that led to it, is already contaminated by those actions and so will create further unhappiness.
- This is karmic action, which is the unconscious perpetuation of unhappiness.

rouse (a feeling) again
Awakened doing is the alignment of your outer purpose (what you do) with your inner purpose (awakening and staying awake).
- Through awakened doing, you become one with the outgoing purpose of the universe.
- Consciousness flows through you into this world.
- It flows into your thoughts and inspires them.
- It flows into what you do and guides and empowers it.
It’s not what you do, but how you do what you do determines whether you are fulfilling your destiny.
- And how you do what you do is determined by your state of consciousness.
The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm.
