Today’s book: Infinite Self: 33 Steps to Reclaiming Your Inner Power by Stuart Wilde—a spiritual power‑up that invites you to drop ego, transcend limits, and wake up to the truth that the divine (or God‑Force) is already inside you, waiting.

Here’s your 1‑minute summary:

• You are the God Force within you. Stop projecting divinity outward. Claim that sacred power inside—it shifts where your control and identity live.
• Discipline is your bridge. Wilde emphasizes that growth isn’t passive. Uplifted states must be converted into lasting traits through consistent effort.
• Ego is a limiting script. To access your Infinite Self, you must loosen the grip of fear, judgment, and the “shoulds” that trap you in other people’s stories.
• Everything is felt first. Intelligence alone won’t unlock your power—it’s feeling and intuition that guide you into alignment. Listening inward matters more than thinking outward.
• Transform through surrender. Let discomfort, failure, and “not knowing” become your teachers. Step beyond control. In the void of surrender, true transformation often arises.

You don’t need to gain power—you need to remember it. So how can you connect to the infinite self within even more today?
