“Those folks who meet with life success and then tell the world it was due to their hard work, really make my job challenging. They almost NEVER work harder than others. They don’t even work smarter than others.
They simply leveraged the magic by thinking, speaking, and acting in line with what they wanted.
But, oh, no, they have to go out and tell impressionable minds that it was their hard work, and so, for all who listen and nod, it becomes hard work.
Leverage the magic by thinking, speaking, and acting as if all the things you want have become all the things you have.” (signed) ‘The Universe’ (Mike Dooley, ‘Notes from the Universe’)

“Someday, somewhere – anywhere, unfailingly, you’ll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.” (Pablo Neruda)
