Tuesday, June 24th, 2008


Prosperity success secret of 17 seconds
has become a much used tool for reaching for quick results.

From the Abraham Hicks’ work, comes a process to amplify the law of success. For 17 seconds, pray, meditate, or visualize what you want to occur. This prosperity success secret process aligns yourself with the energy of Source or God, and with the positive event that you wish to have happen. If you can hold the idea for 17 seconds or for multiples of 17, you can enhance the energy with this prosperity success secret.

When you pray or use the 17 seconds prosperity success secret for someone else; I find that it is easier. I could much more easily concentrate 17 seconds on the success of my brother’s monthly sales campaign than on something I want. Abraham says to test the Universe. I do it regularly with the 17 seconds process prosperity success secret.

When I am using the prosperity success secret of 17 seconds (which can easily stretch out over a minute or so), I focus on my intent as I pray and meditate. When I use the prosperity success secret of 17 seconds, I actively visualize what events might happen when my desire is carried out. Focusing on my brother, I imagined having him call me and tell me how many orders had come in that week. I imagined seeing money deposited into his checkbook. I imagined his gratitude for his God given success and answered prayers. I see him packaging up his orders and getting them ready to be posted.

My daughter and I are traveling together, and we will do the prosperity success secret of 17 seconds together both as a meditation, a prayer, and visualization process. “Wherever two or more are gathered….” When we do the prosperity success secret of 17 seconds together, we almost always receive the results we envisioned.

We will do 17 seconds on getting a refreshing good night rest and waking up rejuvenated. We will do 17 seconds on having a safe and easy travel day. We did 17 seconds on selling our second automobile. We did 17 seconds prosperity success secret prayer for needed rain at my sister’s farm. We did a 17 seconds success secret pray for imminent rain to pass by until the roof was resealed while my niece’s porch was being built.

We have asked for $1000 more than we expected to come to us within one week. It showed up in less than 24 hours. Prayer, Meditation, and 17 seconds are all ways to tap into the Infinite Source of all that is. They are powerful prosperity success secrets. Here’s to your success using the prosperity secret of 17 seconds.

“Prosperity Success Secret to Create Your Day”

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Prosperity Success Secret to Create Your Day is an excellent way to deepen your use of the law of success. In the last post we reviewed the prosperity success secret of 17 seconds. The process of using visualization to create your coming day is a powerful way to enhance your life, another prosperity success secret.

This prosperity success secret says; when you focus on anything for 17 seconds you begin aligning your energy with those of the Universe to heighten the effect of the law of success and law of attraction. In the law of success, each increment of 17 seconds that you add of focused attention increases alignment, creates an image, magnetizes the idea or visualization more, and sets into motion universal forces to bring what you want to you, whether that is success, prosperity, wellness, or material things. Why not use this law of success concept to create your day?

In this prosperity success secret, it is as though the Universe as part of the law of success says “George wants a new tractor. See that image in his visualization he is sending out! Let’s begin to create opportunities for him so that he can find that tractor at the price he wants.”

Each morning, you can help create your day by visualization. Imagine the kind of day you want. See things happening that you want that bring you success. If you combine prayer, visualization, and meditation together, it is a power way to amplify the use of the law of success in your life. In this prosperity success secret, you imagine the goals that you have for the day as being accomplished. Your visualization of your feelings of success when those goals are reached is important. You ask for signs from the universe that it is bringing you what you want. Dr. Joe Dispenza describes how to create your day in the transcription at What the Bleep.

If you use this visualization prosperity success secret, part of the law of success, you are far more likely to create your day in the way you wish, bringing more prosperity, more joy, more fulfillment, more health and little gifts from the universe.

Here’s to every day a day of success.

“The Secret Key to Law of Success #2″

The Secret Key to Law of Success
# 2
Establish a Mastermind Alliance

The Secret Law of Success # 2 is that where two or more of like mind come together with purpose the Universal Flow can support success even more effectively. Napoleon Hill created the idea of a Mastermind Alliance, where all members come together to help each other succeed.

Success happens in concert with others. When a group of people come together with purpose to hold the energy for the success of each person there, marvelous happenings occur. The Secret Law of Success, Establish a Mastermind Alliance, exponentially multiplies the visualizations done.

My daughter and I form an improvised Mastermind Alliance, the Secret Law of Success principle 2, every time we do what we call “17 seconds.” When we visualize the Secret Law of Success for someone else with purpose, we find it is much easier for us to do, because there are no blocks inside when we are praying, contemplating and visualizing success for another person. We do find that the power is amped when we do our “17 second prayer” together.

Carefully with purpose select a few people – even one more will do- to include in your Mastermind Alliance. This selection is an important part of The Secret Law of Success #2. You want someone who can also harmonize with the Law of Success.

Determine your purpose as a Mastermind Alliance. Make sure you own personal goal is aligned with that of the group’s definite purpose, a Secret Law of Success principle.

Acknowledge what skills and attributes each member brings to the master mind alliance. At your first meeting, introduce yourselves; identify your personal definite purpose; what strengths you have as a person, and what you bring to the group. This acknowledgement of each other’s strengths helps align the Mastermind Alliance, the Secret Law of Success #2.

Napoleon Hill states you should determine your rewards as a group on purpose. Get very clear what you are committing to. Each of you contribute to the whole, each of you will benefit. If someone is not willing to go the distance, (set a prescribed period of time), then it is not a match. When you know what you each expect from each other, you can maintain harmony in the Secret Law of Success; Mastermind Alliance on purpose.

Regular meetings with a specific time and place for the meetings will set up a structure for the flow of the Secret Law of Success to dwell in the midst of your Mastermind Alliance.

Should you not have a group of people to include in your Mastermind Alliance, then form such a Mastermind Alliance between your self and your Self. Still follow the above steps in setting up this Mastermind Alliance with your Self. Specific time, place, purpose, knowledge of strengths are just as important in the Secret Law of Success # 2.

Successful people often are very careful with whom they partner with purpose. A marriage, a business partner, a friendship can all be a form of a Law of Success Mastermind Alliance. The key to any of these Mastermind Alliances is the harmony between each other. The ability to inspire harmony will help develop an attractive personality which is the next step.

You don’t have to travel this route alone. We have a special e-mail home course available that functions in part as a Mastermind Alliance. Complete the form below if you wish more information.

The Secret Key to the Law of Success # 4A: Use Applied Faith

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

The Secret Key to the Law of Success has the fourth principle of using your applied Faith. Primary to this success secret is faith is a state of mind. This state of mind develops by repeatedly opening your mind to receive from the Infinite, God, Source, the Universe, and your higher Power. The Law of Success functions by the success secret of repeatedly allowing your mind receive Infinite Intelligence.

Napoleon Hill says that when we use applied faith, you temporarily relax your mind, reason, and will power and ‘open to the inflow of Infinite Intelligence.’ The secret is when you open your receptivity to the flow of energy from Source; you are opening to the power of Infinite Intelligence, and your state of mind and being change. The success secrets of the Law of Success is that the more we open our mind and heart to God, Infinite Intelligence, the more the universe will cooperate with you.

Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Believing is the secret key to the Law of Success. All success secrets are based on this quote by Napoleon Hill.

When the flow of energy from the Infinite flows through your mind, it passes by and through restrictions of beliefs. In these success secrets the metaphor of a prism is helpful when thinking of the energy from Source flowing through your mind. When that powerful flow hits beliefs in your mind such as ‘you cannot succeed’; ‘you are not worthy’; ‘others stand in your way;’ then the energy is distorted and scattered. Success secrets teach you ways to clear your mind of these blocks. The secret is to keep your mind open, receptive and in contact with your Source. The Law of Success functions side by side with the Law of Attraction.

Most importantly, if you close yourself off from the flow of source by not believing in God, Source, The Universe, Creator, you disconnect from your power source, and will not benefit very easily from the application of success secrets of using the Law of Success. Remain open is the secret.

Napoleon Hill said that to be able to use the law of success, your must cultivate faith as a state of mind. The success secrets of the centuries all point to the Law of Success having a strong foundation in prayer and connection with Infinite Intelligence. The secret to cultivating such a state of mind is to set aside a portion of each day to contemplate the Divine.

Hill suggested that we set aside an hour a day to contemplate your relationship to your God, the divine intelligence. You need to look for signs in your life of where Infinite Intelligence has manifested.

His success secret includes a ritual to help you build faith and act with faith. Clear your thoughts of negative thoughts – such as want, poverty, ill health. When you clear your mind, and you find that many paths open to you. See the post on Looking for signs.

  1. Express your desire.
  2. Create a specific plan for attaining what you want
  3. Start acting on that plan. Put all conscious effort behind it.
  4. Ask for signs, look for signs that the Universe is behind you.

The more you act with faith, the more the universe will open and fund you with its power. The more you see that power working, the easier it will be for you to act on faith. If you fill these prayers with gratitude for what you have already, the sooner you will have results.

Practice prayer every day. That will maximize the secret key to the Law of Success.

The Secret Key to Law of Success # 10 Think Accurately

Tuesday, November 04th, 2008

The Secret Key to Law of Success # 9 Think Accurately

The secret key to the Law of Success #9 is to Think Accurately. All your creations, plans, achievements are begun as thoughts. Your mind is like a garden. It can be groomed and weeded into a cultivation of beauty and productivity. Or it can be left alone to be overrun with weeds carried as seeds on the wind and by passing birds.

To Think Accurately is a skill that is developed over time. Choosing your thoughts, and discerning where your thought come from is very important. Often our thoughts are generated from the beliefs and experiences of our upbringing or those people with whom we hang out. Your thoughts are very powerful. Your thoughts are vibration. What you think about activates the universe. To really understand this from a positive perspective, let’s talk again about the 17 second process.

    “You are only 17 seconds Away from 68 Seconds to Fulfillment.”

    “With only a few seconds of focusing your attention on a subject, you activate the vibration of that subject within you, and immediately the Law of Attraction begins to respond to that activation. The longer you keep your attention focused on something, the easier it becomes for you to continue to focus upon it because you are attracting, through the Law of Attraction, other thoughts or vibrations that are the essence of the thought you began with.

    “Within 17 seconds of focusing on something, a matching vibration becomes activated. And now as that focus become stronger and the vibration becomes clearer, the Law of Attraction will bring to you more thoughts that match. At this point, the vibration will not have much attraction power, but if you maintain your focus longer, the power of vibration will become further-reaching. And if you manage to stay purely focused upon any thought for as little as 68 seconds, the vibration is powerful enough that its manifestation begins.

    “When you repeatedly return to a pure thought, maintaining it for at least 68 seconds, in a short period of time (hours in some cases or a few days in others) that thought becomes a dominant thought. And once you achieve a dominant thought, you will experience matching manifestations until you change it. Ask and It Is Given by Hicks

If you haven’t already read the essay about creating your day, please do.

When you visualize something happening that you really want to happen in specific detail as though it is happening at this very moment, it is powerful. When you pray and imagine that your prayer is answered immediately, and you “see” scenes taking place after your prayer is answered, in detail with as many senses as you can, you feel great, you feel gratitude, and you are sending your appreciation to God for your answered prayer.

When I had my home in Minnesota on the market last year, for six months I had no sale. Then my daughter and I decided to do “17 seconds” every day. We would focus on how good it would feel when we received the phone call from our agent. We imagined going to closing and signing all the documents. We imagined seeing the big red SOLD sign being hung on our For Sale sign. We imagined pulling out of our driveway with our Casita travel trailer for the last time, and the sense of freedom we would feel.

There was a lot going on at the time. A lot of worry and fear clouded our emotions. But we carried on doing our “17 seconds” which usually lasted about a minute and a half. We would be exhilarated when we were finished each time. Our fear ebbed the more we did 17 seconds, because we were making the scenario real to our bodies.

Then I got that call. It came three weeks later. It didn’t happen exactly as we imagined. It was better than we imagined. The sale of the home was consummated about seven weeks later. Some very difficult circumstances were navigated very easily and mostly effortlessly. That’s another by-product of 17 seconds.

This weekend I wanted to buy a new mattress. Before I went shopping, My daughter and I did ‘17 seconds’ on finding exactly what we wanted and were specific about how much we wanted to pay. We found that mattress on our first stop for $900 below retail price, and the salesperson told us it was below cost. I know it was because we did our preparation of ‘17 seconds.’

Remember ’17 seconds’ is what it takes to begin aligning your mind. For each increment of 17 seconds that you add of focused thought, visualization, prayer, the power gets amped up. I never time my 17 seconds, because I keep adding to the visualization until I feel it “take.” In my home, we try to do our ’17 seconds’ process together. It helps to do it with someone else. You feel the emotional support of doing it together. And it is wonderful to share the exhilaration of something well imagined together when we have finished. We often give each other a high five.

What you think about is very powerful. Enjoy unleashing the eager Universe by doing ‘17 seconds’ on something you want. It gets so that you don’t even have to do 17 seconds. I wanted a very large mirror to put out on my north facing patio. Within four days, my sister walked in carrying a huge door sized mirror that she ‘found’ at the dumpster when taking out my trash. So even 17 seconds can manifest. It works.

“Success Secrets: Success is a state of mind”

Success Secrets: Success is a state of mind

Success Secrets are fervently searched for. People often search outside themselves. The truth is that success is a state of mind. Faith is a state of mind. The Law of Attraction tunes into that state of mind. Part of the success secret is to learn that sometimes our state of mind gets soured for a while, and that acceptance is a powerful key.

Today I was feeling wonderful. Then I had an unpleasant interaction with my sister. Within minutes my day went south. Success Secrets indicate that the Law of Attraction would attract circumstances that would mirror my state of being. It did.

My daughter reminded me of the exercise, given these conditions, what can I be happy about? We recited lots of things that we were grateful for as we drove into town. I got my vibration up a little more. Then I had a disappointment, and my vibration went down a lot. Law of Attraction provided me more circumstances to fit my lowered vibration.

When we don’t feel happy, it is hard to hold optimism and attract success. Success secrets are not easy to follow when we are on the bottom end of the emotional scale. Acceptance is a powerful way to turn the tide.

It is so easy when circumstances are not favorable, to lower our vibration or state of mind. This happens especially with people with whom we have a deep connection. There was too strong a gap between my feelings and the gratitude I was reaching for to counter the dive I made into being upset. Part of the success secret so ably put by the work of Esther Hicks and Abraham, is to simply accept where you are.

“So things went south. So I don’t like what happened today. It’s not the end of the world. I am doing pretty good. I am not forgetting what I have learned. I am having a little detour into a tide pool. It’s OK. I know from experience that I will recover and very soon. So for today, I accept that I don’t feel so great and it’s OK. In fact, feeling irritated and cranky is a far better place emotionally than being depressed or in despair. In fact, my irritation serves me well, because it stopped the slide downward.”

This kind of dialogue with self shows the practice of acceptance, an important success secret. “I accept myself. I accept my feelings. Everything will turn out OK.”

My body takes a deep breath. I relax. “That’s right, everything will be OK.” Acceptance is a powerful success secret. Today I accept where I am. Tomorrow, I will be renewed. Acceptance that self does not have to be perfect is an important success secret.

Thanks for stopping by. May acceptance accompany your journey. May success secrets be revealed to you continually.

“Look for Signs of the Law of Attraction”

Friday, June 20th, 2008


Look for signs of Law of Attraction
; signs that the Universe is tuned in to you. Sometimes the signs come through intuition. When I first started reading Ask and It is Given, which outlines the laws of attraction, even though one part of me knew it to be true, the critic in me did not. When the internal critic takes charge, consciousness contracts to just its point of view.

One way to stretch your vision is to look for signs that the universe is supporting you. I do that by saying something like a prayer. “Universe, I want to feel and see your support. Please send me signs today that will help me trust more. Please help me recognize the signs when they appear.” Another way of saying this is that I “set an intention.” Law of attraction will respond to you. Your intuition will lift its antennae.

My daughter and I are on a road trip at the moment. We had two cars and decided we wanted to travel in one car from Texas to Washington State. We stopped at my brother’s home in Oklahoma. We half heartedly put one car for sale. I just didn’t feel momentum to sell the black Toyota. I watched the efforts and how I felt inside, and mentioned them to my daughter. She felt the same. We were not trying to sell the Cutlass we were in because it had a lien against it and felt it might be harder to sell. My brother and sister in law told us they really thought we should try selling the Oldsmobile, because they didn’t have good feelings about us selling the Toyota. We all were listening to our intuition.

Two days later polished and clean, I parked the Oldsmobile at a major intersection in this very small town. I raised the price after the first test drive, so I could have room to dicker. In the next six hours I had two offers, and had five groups take the car for test drives. As I was getting in the car to go home, two cars drove up at the same time. Both wanted the vehicle. I received a full price offer on the spot, and met the buyer the next morning at her bank to finish the sale. I looked for the signs and they were clear. Law of Attraction brought the buyers within seven hours of my putting signs on the car. Intuition gave us guidance which we followed. A problem that had been perplexing us for five months was settled in one day when we asked for signs and followed the signs and our intuition.

It was easy. It was almost effortless. The Universe gave us its support and law of attraction brought buyer and seller together in a kind and supportive transaction. We were ecstatic. My daughter had reminded me to look for “signs.” Signs will be there for you too.

Thanks for dropping by.

“Cultivating Faith As Your State of Mind”

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Cultivating Faith as your state of Mind is part of The Secret Law of Success # 4B.
Tune into the Infinite to develop your faith.

Faith doesn’t just happen. It needs to be cultivated. As you develop Faith it can be used to develop more Faith which in turn will tune into the Infinite. You tune in.

You are deepening your relationship with Infinite Intelligence. You are deepening your knowing of the indwelling spirit. You tune into the Infinite by fine tuning your receiving ability to hear the small voice. You are strengthening your ability to know through intuition, ideas and hunches. You are cultivating Faith. You are in tune.

To be in tune with the infinite, you need to tune in, adjust your receiving apparatus. Cultivating Faith is a way to tune into Infinite Intelligence. When you are feeling poverty, survival, fear, ill health, or disharmony with other, you are not in tune with the infinite.

As you choose to tune in to the infinite, your vibration changes. As you begin looking for places where the Infinite has operated in your life, your vibration begins to align with that of the Infinite. What you look for you find. You are cultivating Faith. You begin to be in tune as you tune in.

When you look for doubt and skepticism you find it. Both states are possible. Skepticism and doubt and Faith, hope and trust. What state do you want to tune into? Are you cultivating Faith or disbelief? When you are more in the realm of disbelief, you are not in tune. You do not tune in.

As you look for places in your life where Universal Flow and Power has operated, you are adjusting your state of being, your state of Mind to align with the Infinite, you tune in and begin to be in tune.

By asking for signs of the Infinite, and looking for signs of its manifestation, you begin to tune in yourself as though you were a radio dial to be able to feel the vibration of the Infinite Intelligence You are cultivating Faith. You are in tune.

Counting your blessings, praying, contemplating the divine are all ways that you are tuning in. When you pray with thanksgiving and gratitude, you are aligning with that powerful Source of all that is. You are cultivating Faith. You tune in.

Napoleon Hill says

“If you close the window of your mind to the power of Infinite Intelligence through disbelief, you will never experience its benefits.”

Faith opens the window of your mind. Faith opens your experience to the benefits of Infinite Intelligence. You are in tune.

It is very simple. If you tune into disbelief, you cannot tune in vibrationally to the power of the Infinite. All you will hear is static. The Infinite is flowing and operating on a different channel, the antithesis of disbelief. Cultivate Faith so that you can be in tune with the Infinite.

Cultivating Faith is the same as cultivating Optimism, is the same as cultivating a taste for Beauty, Gourmet Food, and exquisite music. You are not going to find a freshly exquisitely prepared organic gourmet meal in a fast food restaurant. You are not going to find the Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony being played by a full orchestra at the county fair. You are not going to find a field of bursting yellow tulips in a recently logged mountain side.

You have to go looking for what you want in an area you might be likely to find it. As you begin looking for it, you are much more likely to find it. You are cultivating Faith. You are in tune, and you tune in.

Never Give Up Hope

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Hope

Simon hesitated and then said…..”I would like our finished product to be their life guide, a beacon of hope perhaps, a set of directions that will guide them through the darkness for the rest of their lives. “

“I would like the readers to be able to digest our entire message quickly, and I would like them to read it every morning, without fail, before commencing their day’s activities. Knowing how difficult things can be in the morning, but also how important one’s first waking hour is, try to write it so that it can be read in six minutes or less. Also be certain they understand that it must be read every morning and that if they do, their lives will eventually change for the better beyond their wildest dreams.”

So were the directions of Simon Potter to Og Mandino in the last few days of his life. They were writing a masterpiece. A book to catch those of us caught in despair and hopelessness. A ten commandments of life as it were. And it went like this.


“For the Rest of My Life. . .

    For the rest of my life there are two days that will never again trouble me.

    The first day is yesterday with all its blunders and tears, its follies and defeats. Yesterday has passed forever beyond my control.

    The other day is tomorrow with its pitfalls and threats, its dangers and mystery. Until the sun rises again, I have no stake in tomorrow for it is still unborn.

    With God’s help and only one day to concentrate all my effort and energy on, this day, I CAN WIN! Only when I add the burden of those two frightening eternities, yesterday and tomorrow, am I in danger of faltering under the load. Never again! This is my day! This is my only day! Today is all there is! Today is the rest of my life and I resolve to conduct myself through every waking hour in the following manner. . .

    For the rest of my life, this very special day, God help me. . .

    . . . to heed the wise advice of Jesus and Confucius and Zoroaster and treat everyone I meet, friend or foe, stranger or family, as I would want them to treat me.

    . . . to maintain a rein on my tongue and my temper, guarding against foolish moments of fault-finding and insults.

    . . . to greet all those I encounter with a smile instead of a frown, and a soft word of encouragement instead of disdain or even worse, silence.

    . . . to be sympathetic and attentive to the sorrows and struggles of others, realizing that there are hidden woes in every life no matter how exalted or lowly.

    . . . to make haste to be kind to all others, understanding that life is too short to be vengeful or malicious, too soon ended to be petty or unkind.


    For the rest of my life, this very special day, God help me . . .

    . . . to keep reminding myself that in order to harvest more ears of corn in the fall, I must plant more kernels in the spring.

    . . . to understand that life always rewards me on the terms that I establish and if I never perform or deliver more than that for which I am paid, never will I have reason to demand or expect any additional gold.

    . . . to always deliver more than is expected of me, whether at work, or play, or at home.

    . . . to labor with enthusiasm and love, no matter what the task or hand may be, realizing that if I cannot secure happiness out of my work I will never know what real happiness is.

    . . . to endure at my chosen work even after others have ceased their labor, for now I know that the angel of happiness and the pot of gold awaits me only at the end of the extra mile that still lies ahead.


    For the rest of my life, this very special day, God help me. . .

    . . . to set goals to be accomplished before the day has ended, for now I know that to drift aimlessly from one hour to the next leaves me with only one destination, the port of misery.

    . . . to realize that no path to success is too long if I advance bravely and without undue hast, just as there are no honors too distant if I prepare myself for them now with patience.

    . . . to never lose faith in a brighter tomorrow, for I know that if I continue to knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, I am certain to arouse someone.

    . . . to repeatedly remind myself that success always has its price and that I must be willing to balance its joys and rewards against the precious piece of my life I must always exchange to achieve it.

    . . . to hold fast to my dreams and my plans for a better life because if I relinquish them, although I still might exist, I will have ceased to live.


    For the rest of my life, this very special day, God help me. . .

    . . . to strive to fulfill the best that is within me, knowing that I have no obligation to attain great wealth or success, only the obligation to be true to the highest and best I can be.

    . . . to never succumb to the fear of failing, because now I shall be looking up to the goals I have not yet reached rather than peering down at the pitfalls that always threaten me.

    . . . to embrace adversity as a friend who will teach me far more about myself than any joyful run of success and good fortune.

    . . . to remember that failures, even when they occur, are only guides to success, since every discovery of what is false will lead me to seek after what is true, and every experience teaches me some form of error that shall afterward be carefully avoided.

    . . . to rejoice over what I have, little though it may be, always recalling the oft told tale of the man who was sobbing because he had no shoes until, one day, he met a man who had no feet.


    For the rest of my life, this very special day, God help me . . .

    . . . to accept myself as I am without every allowing my conscience or sense of duty to force me to live a life’s pattern designed solely for the benefit of others.

    . . . to realize that I must never accept the praise and love of people as a measure of my personal worth, since my true value depends far more on how I feel about myself and how involved I am in the world outside myself.

    . . . to resist the temptation to surpass the achievements of others, since this pathetic and yet common desire is no more than a sign of insecurity and weakness and I will never be me if I allow others to set my standards.

    . . . to ignite all my actions, both at work and play, with constant sparks of enthusiasm so that my excitement and zeal at whatever I am doing will subdue all difficulties that might otherwise slow my progress.

    . . . to remember that I must pay the price in time and energy in order to increase my worth, for only fools stand idly by and wait for success to arrive, and now I know that the only chance to start at the top is in digging a hole.


    For the rest of my life, on this day of days, God please help me . . .

    . . . to do unto others as I would have them do unto me, to give more of myself, every hour, than is expected, to set goals and hold fast to my dreams, to search for the good in every adversity that befalls me, to perform all my duties with enthusiasm, and love and, above all, to be myself.

    Please help me to accomplish these goals, my special friend, so that I may become a rag picker of value, laboring in your name with renewed strength and wisdom to rescue others as you have rescued me. And above all, please remain close to me, through all of this day . . . “

Simon, the self proclaimed rag-picker, set his life’s goal as helping human’s who found themselves on life’s refuse pile. This message was the distillation of his life’s wisdom, published in 1992 by Og Mandino as The Return of the Ragpicker.

I picked up his book for .25 cents at the local library sale last weekend. Mr. Simon’s words caught my attention. I felt his deep humility and desire to help humankind. He was 92 at his passing. He lamented what we were doing to our world in 1992 – yet he never gave up hope. No matter what is happening, never give up hope.
