Reflections On Sunrise

“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.”
~ Estee Lauder

It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day:)

And it’s hard to believe we are already half way through February, and yet I’ve just barely surpassed the midway point of Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”. It’s alot to grasp!

So I think it’s a perfect time to summarize where we’re at. This will also allow me to get ahead, and spend some time today thinking about our next step to growing riches, which is the Master Mind. read more

“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 $ 😉

As I cleaned the villa yesterday, my mind kept coming back to my idea.  I must be on to something, as I woke up sometime last night dreaming of the logo and slogan. read more

How’s everyone doing this bright Monday morning?  Did anyone besides me spend some time yesterday considering The Six Steps and solidifying your Desire?

I’m a numbers person, and as Spencer sat on the couch watching the Olympics, I sat and reviewed some historical figures and contemplated my budget.  He loving called me a bean counter.  Well, someone’s got to do it.  Until the day that I have more beans than I can count! read more

Napoleon Hill tells us that Persistence is the sustained effort necessary to induce faith.   It feels like even the sun had to be persistent this morning to make it’s break through the clouds!

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

“If you change nothing, Nothing will change.”

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
