CAREER SUCCESS

 

“Next to meditation itself, I really can’t think of anything more important than the development of your career.”

-Dr. Frederick Lenz, Rama

“Career success is using your daily work – schoolwork, work in the world, work at home, doing the laundry, doing anything, all physical tasks, cleaning the car, any kind of work, and specifically career itself – using career and scholastics as a way of advancing your mental state. 

Career success is an inner feeling, a stillness that will come to you. Not because of what you do — that is important — but because of why you do it and how you approach it.  Use that career to develop yourself. Have fun with it. Dedicate your activities and your career to eternity, to enlightenment” – Dr. Frederick Lenz, Rama

“If you’re in school, you should be an impeccable student within the structure of the time that you have. At your place of work you should be impeccable. You should be the best employee… While you’re there you’re paying yourself, you’re paying yourself by the amount of impeccability you bring into what you do. It doesn’t matter if others notice or not. That won’t change its effect. When you go to work and you give everything and you do your very best, when you leave work that day, you’ve increased your impeccability. You’ve made a donation to the bank of your warrior spirit, which you can draw on later.”  Dr. Frederick Lenz, Rama
