You’ll learn how to use all the talents born in you, to achieve a success in life you may now only dream about. You’ll learn how to manage your relations with people, so you’ll help them want to help you.

You’ll learn how to appreciate and use the great gifts that were born in you, gifts you may not even know you have.

You’ll learn that success is built on success, but you’ll also learn the difference between a try that fails and a failure. And how to build your success by building on the many little things you succeed in and how to use the attempts that fail to lead you to tomorrow’s success.

You’ll learn how to handle worry and make it work for you instead of against you. You’ll learn to really take charge of your life and that’s when you’ll begin to feel the change within you that will be the result of the discoveries you’ll make about yourself and the world as you live through these inspirational discoveries.

But this will be just the beginning! You’ll learn how to plan your life, how to decide on the goals you want to reach and how to plan to reach them, then how to put your plans into action.

You’ll learn how to make decisions without worrying about them, using all you’ve learned as a guide, but not letting your past dictate your future.

And through all this you’ll learn how to enjoy life’s simple pleasures to the fullest; how to relax, even when your life’s full of excitement every moment, and enjoy everything you’re doing.

Now, I know that sounds like a lot to promise, but believe me, it’s only the beginning of what you can accomplish when you stop letting things happen to you and start making things happen for you, that’s what these inspirational discoveries are all about. Let me explain it this way.

Imagine yourself sitting back comfortably in your favorite chair, watching television. You’re relaxed, enjoying yourself. Now the program you’ve been watching ends, and the screen goes blank. Here, let your imagination take over, and instead of the next program, you’re going to see what I’m talking about, on your television set.

First, you see a little dot of light bumping its way slowly across the screen, leaving a thin line behind it. As you watch it, it moves a little bit up and then a little bit down, but mostly it just inches its way along a fairly straight line. And it’s the only thing you can see on the screen, just that little white dot and the trail of white line it leaves behind.

That’s a picture of a life of hopelessness, but it’s an accurate picture of the life most of us lead. That little white dot is being pushed along, from day to day, from week to week, from year to year, by what other people expect us to do.

Every once in a while, we do something we want, but then we go back to doing what’s expected of us. And when we get up in the morning it’s to face another day that’s just another day, a day to go to work to do the housework or go to school, not because we want to, but because we have to.

Now as you watch that poor little dot being bumped and pushed along by pressures from outside, listen to this unhappy fact. More than nine out of ten people live their whole lives like that little dot.

See you on the next post…
