| Be The Person
If you are chasing something, the very fact that you must chase it means that it is moving away from you. Rather than chasing something directly, consider attracting it into your life. Be the person who would have what you wish to have. Be the person who can live the life you wish to live. When you chase after anything, whether it is a relationship, money, a job or anything else, it can be quite frustrating. Because you are focusing on something external to yourself, over which you have very little control. Instead, focus on what you can control, on what you can build and grow and improve in yourself. That is the quickest and most reliable way to bring results. Whatever it is that you desire, give it a warm and welcoming place to exist within you. The good things in life will flow into places where they are appreciated and put to good use. Imagine your most treasured dream in every detail, and then set about to be the person who can truly experience it. Your dream will fill the home that you build for it. -- Ralph Marston Copyright ©2006 Ralph S. Marston, Jr.

So true. The more work I did on myself, the more good things started to happen in my life.

Today is a great day to focus on myself.

| Imagine your most treasured dream in every detail, and then set about to be the person who can truly experience it. Your dream will fill the home that you build for it. My mothers favourite saying "You've got to have a dream, before it can come true." Making room in my life for dreams and setting my sights on the stars, ensures that I am ready when they come true and don't miss them in the business of the day. Hugs
