Just
kidding.
We had great readers on the last blog. A big thank
you to all who showed up. If I had four dead mice, I’d give you… well, all of them.
Here are hearts instead!
But,
let’s not doddle in the past, or with cat videos—although they’re fun—let’s get on with this great adventure
called life.
I’ve
had a tiny book following me around for maybe 20 years. It has a paper cover,
worn and ragged. The book is only 3.5 inches by 5 inches with 16 little-bitty
pages. Although I have lost or given away many books
this one has stuck itself to me. It was there on my bookshelf. Now it’s beside my computer.
That
book was a gift those many years ago. It was written by J.D. my initials, but I
didn’t write it.
The
author says his or her name isn’t important,
but the information within is.
The
title of the book is The Ultimate Secret
TO
GETTING ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU WANT
My
daughter, although she had not read the book, declared its secret when she was
trying to conceive her child. The secret really
isn't a secret, it is found and utilized by many. They just don't know it's a
secret.
After
12 months of artificial insemination, with no luck, and many months of
discouragement, tears, yet hope, my daughter was ready to go for an In-Vetro
fertilization.
That
month she conceived her son.
Her
comment was: “Maybe you just have to be willing to do the
hard stuff.”
And
that is what J.D. said in The Ultimate Secret.
That's
the secret. You need to be willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your
goals. (Let’s keep this within the realm of legality here.)
Often,
it is not necessary to complete all your goal's to-do list, maybe just one or two. It is the willingness to do them that
counts.
“When
it comes to getting results, intention is
more important action.”—J.D
It’s a frame of mind.
