Your Mental Attitude - Inspiration

Whatever your life’s desire may be, it will rake on new significance and new appeal for you when that tremendously powerful force we term “inspiration” takes over command.

All great works of art . . . scientific advance­ments . . . business developments . . . man s modern conveniences.., elevation of our stand­ard of living . . . greater social and civic freedoms resulted from individual and collective inspiration which devised
the necessary machinery to accomplish these ends.

This ‘message is inspired by a burning desire to kindle in your heart the spark of realization that you can achieve anything your mind con­ceives . . . if you’ll follow through on your creative imagination with intelligent effort.

Actually, there is very little difference between what you are now and what you would like to be. The very moment you add just a little plus value to what you already have,
you will move ahead of the crowd.

The $25,000.00-a-year man doesn’t need nor possess ten times the ability of the $2,500.00 a year man. As little as ten per cent edge often accounts for the difference. The answer lies in the fact that one man is inspired to do better, while the other drifts along in complacent satis­faction to be “just average.

General Pershing said: “America is a nation of peace loving people, but once inspired to de­feat tyranny, we astound the world.” Production records during the last war did astound the world. These records were accomplished by an inspired people.

YOU will be amazed by the record you can make for yourself through inspiration
... plus a little perspiration.

The strength that lies within you, when prop­erly stimulated by a desire to achieve certain goals, will create a new record for your acquisi­tion of fine friendships . . . greater popularity and advancement . . . substantial and lasting success . . . security.

Right now you are better and smarter than you think you are! Determine this very minute what you want most out of life. Then start out after it! Claim your heritage!

Put your creative imagination to work. Make a definite decision to improve both the quantity and quality of your efforts, today. Arouse those slumbering talents
... accept only the very best life has to offer.

OBEY THAT IMPULSE .. . NOW!

“The manner in which one single ray of light, one single precious hint, will clarify and energize the whole mental life of him who receives it, is among the most wonderful
and heavenly of intellectual phenomena.”

((HUGS))Morning, Bent. how's it going?

[El Gran Salseron]

So, how are things this morning in "Seward's Folly?"

[Soaring Feather]

Going just fine, thanks EGC, and you?? We have snow on the ground in Old New York from a couple of days ago. Temps are running in the high 20'sF. Cloudy and very overcast -the norm for us this time of year.

[Soaring Feather]

Merning, El Gran!!

[El Gran Salseron]

"DaBEARS are 6 1/2 point UNDERDOGS!"

I don't see how that's possible with the way the Steelers have been playing.

[El Gran Salseron]

Hi, Ms. Bentfeather! :-) How are you today?

[Soaring Feather]

Doing well, El Gran, thanks and you??

[El Gran Salseron]

I'm always doing well even when I am not doing well. I celebrate another day of life everyday when I wake up. :-)

[Soaring Feather]

Yupper, the right attitude.

"the sky is falling"

I have always wondered about that "sky is falling" humbug we hear from the dims. Maybe the truth is that hell is rising up to come and get them and they are just misinterpreting?

[Soaring Feather]

Yup, pretty grim outlook they have.

[E.G.C.]

Doing OK. It's forecast to reach the 50's today.

[El Gran Salseron]

OK, gotta run. The NFL pre-game show is about to start!

[Radix]

Welcome to the Canteen.

Nice to hear from you from way down under Capricorn...

[Calpernia]

Dearest Lord Jesus, please protect our brave men and women of the armed forces wherever they may be serving. Please bring an end to this war as soon as possible. Please give wisdom to those in charge in our military and government. Please continue to guard and protect the United States of America. In Your mighty name I pray, Amen.
Thank You Lord.

Latest from Ev,

via e-mail: "Hey, What's Happening- I received your thanksgiving box the other day, thanx for that. Sorry i haven't e-mailed lately but there's a division passing through camp right now, and since they don't have anything better to do they stand in the internet line for like 3-4 hours. On top of that the phones have been down for over a week now, so the internet is the only means of communication. I'm actually not even using our connection- part of my mission is to drive around to other camps so I'm actually writing from camp ******* right now. I just sent a letter to you explaining this in better detail.

I got a care package from one of your freeper friends the other day, but i don't have the name handy. I'll prolly send her a note myself anyway though. I'll get you the names of everybody who's sent something soon. Hopefully we'll have the wireless network up and running within the next couple of weeks..

Things are going really well here. The schedule is hard to get used to, but I do get enough time to sleep, which is more than i can say for most of the infantry guys. I would go on and on but I'd just be repeating what i wrote to you.. So, thanx for all the stuff....

oh yeah, that reminds me.... I wonder if you could mail me my coffee maker.. should be on my nightstand. The ones they sell in the PX are huge and really expensive. You can take money out of my checking account to pay for the shipping for all my packages. That would be much appreciated though, lots of cold long nights in the desert. One more thing.. if you could give me an update of how much cash i have. It's hard to keep track of, and i don't know how much the phone bill was.. Thanks alot, can't wait to see y'all back home....

Oh yeah, another thing, I finally got pinned with my Specialist rank.. at the formation the first sergeant laughed when he read "date of rank August 11th". Anyway, see you later, take care- Evan"

[MozartLover]

off to rehearsal..

[DieHard the Hunter]

Thanks, mate!
