 Today a short selection from Chapter 4 of Sun Tzu:

The consummate leader cultivates the Tao, and strictly adheres to method and discipline; thus it is in his power to control success.
 
We keep returning to this idea, don't we?

Cultivate the Tao by: 

1. Connecting with the Divine.
2. Establishing a goal.
3. Focusing on that goal with all your faculties.

Adhere to method and discipline by:

1. Establishing a spiritual practice, so that you can come to know yourself and to know God, and also to cultivate your will.
2. Having cultivated a strong will, direct it toward your chosen goals by the same method of incremental, daily action, proceeding step by step toward victory.

Whether you want to get married, buy a house, or become an exorcist, the process is the same.
