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

We have a bird bath in the back yard but since there is a bayou on the back of the property the bird bath never got used so now we just put leftovers and such in it. We have seen squirrels jump from the ground up three feet to get into the feeder and munch out. I didn't know they could jump so high from a dead stop and straight up.

The Colts defense played aggressively, and the offense was quite efficient. Jacksonville had the ball only one time during the third quarter, and went three-and-out on that possession. Two long drives by the Colts consumed the rest of the quarter.

The Jaguars weren't helped at all by the fact that they were being led by their second-string quarterback, that their first-string running back remains gimpy, and that they turned the ball over three times, twice in the red zone.

They did start playing more respectably in the fourth quarter. Had they played the entire game with that level of intensity, the Colts might have lost.

Check-out FOXSPORTS.COM. You can get a play-by-play account of the whole game.

That got me, too. Colonel Woods left a wonderful legacy. Our troops have done an awesome job of bringing freedom to the Iraqis. Some Iraqis seem to still be coming to grips with the reality that freedom takes a lot of work.

No surprise there, we have millions in America that haven't caught on

THAT is for sure. The Iraqis are on the ground floor and have to learn what freedom is. And then there are those Americans that have always had freedom, and haven't a clue what it means to be without.
