  <\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

You progress like the sun.  <\/span>The brighter your virtue, the higher you rise.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

This is a time of significant and easy progress.  <\/span>Your influence and understanding grow by leaps and bounds, <\/font><\/span>as long as you maintain your alliance with the Sage, for it is from that alliance that the current progress springs.  The only limit to growth now is your devotion to higher things: if this is true and complete and steady, there <\/font><\/span>will be great gains now.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine the sun rising over the earth.  <\/span>To our view, the further it moves away from darkness, the higher the sun rises.  The same is true of us:  <\/span>the extent to which we progress is determined by how far we distance ourselves from inferior influences.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It is important, when success comes, not to fall into the traps of the ego: taking credit for gains, resting on laurels, <\/font><\/span>indulging in desires, or plotting toward ambitions.  <\/span>The superior person instead uses times of progress to brighten his virtue, <\/font><\/span>recognizing that it was his commitment to proper principles that brought success in the first place.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Continue to purify your thoughts, attitudes and conduct now.  <\/span>The greatest power in this beneficial time accrues to those <\/font><\/span>who service the Higher Power in every moment.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

“In life we cannot always do great things.  <\/span>
But we can do small things with great love.”<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

“Kindness is a language that we all can understand.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Even the blind can see it and the deaf can hear it.”<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
