Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go,
non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness
practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as
a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in
giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give
yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or
some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to
accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and
from the universe.

Success with money, family, relationships, health, and careers is the
ability to reach your personal objectives in the shortest time, with the
least effort and with the fewest mistakes. The goals you set for yourself
and the strategies you choose become your blueprint or plan. Strategies
are like recipes: choose the right ingredients, mix them in the correct
proportions, and you will always produce the same predictable results: in
this case financial success. The success strategies for managing money and
building wealth are called Money Strategies. By learning to use money
strategies as a part of your day-to-day life, financial frustration and
failure will become a thing of the past.

If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that's a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life, and there's going to be a life after tennis that's a lot longer than your tennis life.

A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out
to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of
his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a
worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever
it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which
he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and
should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to
wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the
royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he
fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must
until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the
measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for
future power and triumph.

The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for
everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little
more than changing our ideas about what is normal.
