I really enjoyed this post!

I believe in the humility as a great way to search for knowledge, and because I’m always learning, I always show

that feeling of humility. Most of my life I found it difficult to deal with the opposite in every person that thinks of

themselves as they are the masters of everything.

When they all figure out what they’re missing maybe it will be too late!

Thank you for this post!

some of this is dead on good for the soul of us and others but other parts of this still seem evil and selfish i

someways…there are ways of mastery without being dishonest /fake…or evil/warry of people…if we are paanrt

empaths so are they if we can feel them they can feel us and may become warry too…if were dishonest thats

just another form of manipulation….so it should be called mastermanipulators…

I write about success as well. I found this summary or key points fantastic. I have downloaded the Audio Series

and listening to it now. any keen readers welcome to check my site. adriancahill.com

Thanks Addicted2Success!!
