Your Mental Attitude - Inspiration
Whatever your lifes 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 youll 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 doesnt 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.

Being dared was my downfall.
Redhead you know.
I discovered gravity in a far more dramatic scene than Newtons apple.

Slow but sure, Ms. Feather.
We're moving a few boxes a day to a U-Store shed and the movers are coming on the 20th.
Close the old house on the 23rd, and close on the new house on the 27th.
All done by the time New Year's gets here, we're hoping!

Did you ever read "The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread"? It's by Don Robertson. (I listened to it on cassette, too. Wonderful WWII-era story told by Morris Bird the Third, whose father is "the voice of greater Cleveland"! Similar to "A Christmas Story." I'd love a copy to read again, but unfortunately, it's out of print -- and evidently popular because a used copy of the book is $70!!! on amazon! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=9997412516/pamelaricehahnthA Robertson wrote another of my favorites, "Praise the Human Season" -- also OOP, but more reasonably priced used at $.99 for a used pb http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0345245261/pamelaricehahnthA )

Not right now, LOL!!!
Yes, a few boxes a day. And cleaning up the pool, and doing a few touch-up repairs for our buyer.
And going to a concert tonight, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. That was my birthday present.
Oops, just got a call from the kitchen, back in awhile.

I'll write those names down and see if I can find it.
I'm reading "All Creatures Great and Small" now. Don't know how I missed it first time around but I'm loving it now.

Enjoy the concert.
It's never too early to pack.
Gives you enough time to sort and discard.
Enjoy dinner too.

All of the books by that Vet are great! I read them in the late 80s, if I recall.
