I bargained with Life for a penny,
and Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;
Life is a just employer.
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.
― Jessie B. Rittenhouse
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
― William Ernest Henley
It is not the critic who counts; nor the one who points out how the strong person stumbled, or where the doer of a deed could have done better.
The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends oneself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
― Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness.
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves:
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small.
Does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest.
The glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us;
It’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
― Marianne Williamson
Omnifusionist is a person, who lives and works with clarity, integrity and flow, leveraging the tools of his era, and organizing their life and work around seven major pillars.
Have one philosophy. Single one. Yours fully. Think, decide, speak, act and live by it. It will evolve (with you), but you will need to have it, know it and apply it.
Master your craft. Find your talents. Practice deliberately. Use them daily. Be a professional. Strive for mastery. Enjoy the process.
Create systems. Systems always win. When you are solving a problem or pursuing a goal, do not just act or react. Think in systems, create structures and frameworks, direct the flow. Do not just solve the problem, solve the situation.
Leverage and master the tools of your craft and the technology of your universe. It could be AI, internal combustion engine or stone axe. Learn, practice, become a master. Use them.
Give the product of your craft to the people who need it. Your craft and talents have been given to you, so you can deliver very specific value to the world. The craft belongs to you, but the value is to be given. Take the compensation you want fro the product of your gift. You can give it for free. You can get just as much as yuou need. You can get a fortune. It is your choice.
Speak, write, share, promote. The world needs to know about you and what you are doing. Show your real and unique face. The more people you reach, the more of them will have the chance to resonate with you.
Connect with people, build your network and relationships. This is what keeps the humankind alive and thriving.
