Chapter 2 – Just When You Thought It Was Safe …
Posted on 2008 under Uncategorized | No Comment23 Apr
Well, if I ever had a doubt in my mind that I should continue doing the mental cleanse, Chapter 2 totally dispelled my self-delusion. I remembered the stories of Mr. Barnes, Mr. Fields and Mr. Ford without the loss of the details involved. I definitely remember the facts about their successes and struggles. What I forgot to remember (and since this is the entire point of reading the chapter) were the six steps to MY roadmap to success. Now isn’t that just crazy? So, for the entire world to see (and remind me!), I am outlining the six points that are the key to my family’s success. And I am also going to make a nice PowerPoint slide of the following poem for my focus wall to help me to remember that my goal is bigger than a paycheck – it’s a vision for a lifestyle. “I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store. “For Life is just an employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. “I worked for a menial’s hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid.”
