“If you have a burning desire for a thing, you will put yourself on an equal plain of any man, no matter what you lack. The universe will find a way to bring it to you; you must only want it enough. This is a prerequisite of experiencing the extraordinary life.”
____Micheal V. Ivanov (The Mount Of Olives: 11 declarations to an extraordinary life)
“The best way to obtain truth and wisdom is not to ask from books, but to go to God in prayer, and obtain divine teaching.”
___Joseph Smith Jr
“No one is kept poor because other people have monopolized the wealth and have put a fence around it. You may be shut off from engaging in business in certain lines, but there are other channels open to you.”
____Wallace D. Wattles
I am currently reading the complete collection of Wallace D. Wattles’ work. These two lines made me think of Tyler Perry’s acceptance speech at the BET Awards where he said: “While everybody else is fighting for a seat at the table, talking about ‘OscarsSoWhite, OscarsSoWhite,’ I said, ‘Y’all go ahead and do that. While you’re fighting for a seat at the table, I’ll be down in Atlanta building my own.’ Because what I know for sure is that if I could just build this table, God will prepare it for me in the presence of my enemies.”
So go ahead and build your own table. You are worthy. And when you are done, use it to help others cross and build their own.
If you haven’t listened to the full speech, you can do so here. It’s 4 minutes packed with powerful inspiration.
