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

In a word, AWESOME!!!!!

If you get the chance, go see Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert. Last night, they said that they were planning to come to Phoenix and Tucson again next year...last night was sold out.

If you can imagine a marriage between heavy metal and the classics, with a little bit of the blues and Charles Shultz thrown into the mix, then you can get an idea of what you're in for.

Nana bought the tickets because she thought it would be a great gift for me, and she'd put on her game face and sit through the concert. As it turns out, she enjoyed it almost as much as I did!!

Between sets, while we were standing to applaud the performers, the band's lead guitarist asked us to show our appreciation for our service personnel deployed overseas. The audience kicked it up a notch after that!

Okay, it's time to run '06 back up to Tucson to get a new cast and X-rays. His Ortho surgeon wants to make sure the cast is good after the swelling went down, and to give his leg a chance to breathe for a bit. I'm bringing nose plugs!!

Safe journey with '06, and praying that the healing is all going well and the bones are kniting perfectly. Nose plugs are probably an excellent idea.

Thank you for the education, DieHard. I mean that sincerely. Your country's contribution is all the more valued. My impression is that New Zealanders are a practical, common sense people and wouldn't humor much in the way of airhead liberalism; but, that's just my general impression.

Yer right about the Pacific; she covers one-third of the earth's surface! And I'm on the other side of it from you, on what we call the Left Coast (grr-rr) of the U.S.A.

FRegards,
'Dita
