“In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins – not through strength, but through persistence.”
~Buddha

It’s a beautiful morning here, and special birthday wishes go out to my friend Bridgette … Who is being released from the hospital today!  After much persistence and testing, the doctors finally have discovered what has been at the root of various health concerns much of her life. Great news!

So today, we finish up our contemplation of how important Persistence truly is to the philosophy of achievement. This chapter sure is packed with valuable information. I’ve been jumping around the chapter the past few days, as various thoughts caught my attention. read more

It’s a bright, calm morning here on St. Thomas today.   Perfect tourist weather!   And I had to sneak out to capture my shot, as we have a couple in upstairs for only a few nights, celebrating their 30th anniversary.   They, too were out on the deck, and asked for complete privacy.   They don’t want to see hide nor hair of me or Spence … What I’m sometimes willing to do for the mighty $ 😉

So yesterday I told you that the first few paragraphs of Hill’s 8th Chapter on Persistence really spoke to me.   If you are still reading my blog, no doubt you also have some interest in being more abundant!   I hope that at the end, you too will take a moment to follow his instructions.   It’s the first test to see if you are really ready and willing to do what’s necessary …. To stop procrastinating, get some ideas churning, and put a game plan together … read more

I was happy for the clouds this morning. As I waited for the sunrise that never came, trying to compose my thoughts. I feel like I could write a book here …

I spent most of my day yesterday, procrastinating. Reflecting.

A couple of things showed up in my Facebook feed, like divine messages from that Infinite Intelligence I so often talk about.

It started by a fellow blogger asking: “What is the difference between “giving up” and “letting go”? read more
