Sitting Is Dangerous

This early conditioning is often so ingrained that it takes continual external motivation to overcome the decades of negative influence and move toward more success-oriented thoughts and attitudes. The words "I can't " have robbed this world of many a talent and ...

DEVELOP YOUR MIND : You're Responsible for Your Life, 100%

We've already established the fact that success is largely a product of a mind that has been made ready for it. Now we'll look at HOW TO BUILD AND DEVELOP THE MIND.

After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together, told them what had happened, and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery. Initially the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back, HE WOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow. “Shake it off...
