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.”

Arnold Bennett

Hugs to you Sarge.

Threatening snow again in Ky.

You know how that goes. When they promise accumulation we get spit.

When they say scattered flurries we get 2 foot.

Yes, it is a weeper for sure. However, that is what our beloved Military do, day after day, and night after night.

It is not a new thing on the web, but its impact is deep.

Like wise. I hope you stick around and join in entertaining and supporting our fabulous troops.


We are a somewhat of a wacky group here. I don't know if you have met tomkow6 yet, or not. Be mindful -he will try to sell you a Burka. And he listen to voices.

Almost of the troops had a great time while deployed. They have some very interesting and positive stories to tell about the past year.
