5 Reflections from Week 22A in the Master Key Experience (MKE):

1. For Hill, Haanel & Wattles – EMERSON had the strongest influence –

Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession.  Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1841.

2. Jean-Jaques Rousseau – known as the FATHER of ENLIGHTENMENT. Jean-Jaques was Emerson’s influence. His philosophy is all over The United States Constitution. What you do with your life is all that really matters – DO WHAT YOU LOVE. Here are some quotes from Rousseau:

Man is for free and everywhere he is in chains.

Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.

The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.  Jean-Jaques Rosseau

3. THE CERTAIN WAY – You are nature’s greatest miracle Do every act w/excellence.

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.  Wallace Wattles

3 Steps of THE CERTAIN WAY

1. Gratitude is a cause and is a launchpad to Greatness
   *Make Gratitude a Habit – Mastery is not a place where you arrive
2. Focused Thoughts
   *Form a mental conception of YOURSELF at the highest
   *With unwavering faith
3. Action / Will
   *Knowledge does not apply itself
   *You actions must reflect your thoughts
   *We only have the present
   *DO IT NOW! Life is Millions of NOWs
   *Cautionary Tale – Hurry is actually FEAR which cuts the connection with Universal Mind

Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.  Matthew 5:15-16

4. SAP – Smallest Achievable Perfection – Easy to do…easy not to do. Start with something simple…like making your bed like you’ve won an award for bed making!

5. It’s DECISION TIME – You can see greatness in others – Yet most people navigate life ignorant of their own true nature of their infinite potential and unique gifts. YOU ARE NATURE’s GREATEST MIRACLE…ACT LIKE IT.
