Evolution happens by differentiation, not by matching

up to some general standard, and therefore the rewards of life will always
go to those who are not simply excellent but outstanding.
We do not attract what we want, but what we are. Achievement happens
because you as a person embody the external achievement; you dont
get success but become it. There is no gap between mind and matter.

what he thinks about all day long.
If circumstances always determined the life and prospects
of people, then humanity would never have progressed. In fact, circumstances
seem to be designed to bring out the best in us, and if we make
the decision that we have been wronged then we are unlikely to
begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation. Nevertheless, as
any biographer knows, a persons early life and its conditions are often
the greatest gift to an individual.
Prosperity and happiness cannot happen when the old
self is still stuck in its old ways. People are nearly always the unconscious
cause of their own lack of prosperity.
