The question for each of us is not what we would do if we had the means, time, influence, and educational advantages, but what we will do with the things we have.

Spirit is substance which forms itself according to your demands, and must have a pattern from which to work.  A pan of dough is as willing to be formed into bread as biscuit.  It makes as little difference to Spirit what we demand.

I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal. It’s OK to stumble . . . I will get up. It’s OK to fail . . . I will rise again. Today I will make a difference.

Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don’t just stand there, make it happen.

Think about how many good ideas you have had or been a part of in the past, either in casual conversation, in business meetings, or at conferences and trade shows. How many of them did you execute? And how many somehow slipped away?  To keep a good idea going forward, you can’t leave it alone. You need to exert a lot of good force behind it right away, and then you have to keep that force building as time moves on. Getting a jump on the idea as soon as you get it creates the initial force . . . and getting specific tasks accomplished to propel it forward, even if they aren’t done perfectly, adds to it.

You don’t need to get your ideas sanded and polished to find out if they make sense. If completing a project to perfection takes 100 hours and getting the basic idea down on paper (so that everyone can understand it) takes 10 hours, FIRE after you’ve invested 10 hours.  Those who wait till they get it ‘exactly right’ are wasting their own, their business’s, and everyone else’s valuable time and money.

The great Western disease is, ‘I’ll be happy when . . . When I get the money. When I get a BMW. When I get this job.’ Well, the reality is, you never get to when. The only way to find happiness is to understand that happiness is not out there. It’s in here. And happiness is not next week. It’s now.
