If I only had a...

Often times you'll observe me walking around the center humming the refrain "If I only had a brain" from "The Wizard of Oz"

You've all seen it haven't you?
(In my view, one of the greatest movies of all time... at least in the top ten. OK, 20 - I'm a boy so seeing some cheap gratuitous violence with lots of explosions and a little skin does get computed into the mix of the top fave... but I digress.)

If you remember the movie, the big theme was that the main characters all thought that they didn't have what it takes to get what they wanted in life...

The Scarecrow thought he needed a brain...
(my favorite hummed song)

The Tin Man thought he didn't have a heart...

The Cowardly Lion was a scaredy-cat...

Dorothy felt lost and wanted to go home...

And it turned out that they all already had everything they needed...But they were looking around outside of themselves, while they should have been looking inside

In my line of work that is usually the problem...we know a lot more than we think we know, but sometimes we just need a little nudging from a "wizard" to remember it...

The other life story.... Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain!

Don't surrender your life to the so-called "gurus" that try to get you to spend hundreds, or even thousands of dollars that you can't spare to find out the supposed "secrets" that you must have... They're just throwing levers and flicking switches, dazzling and hypnotizing you with a fantastic floor show that's all smoke and mirrors...

Hum...
Just like the Wizards (trainers) in my neck of the woods...But you already have everything you need to succeed inside of you. Sometimes you just need to hum or sing so you start listening to your inside.

Til next time....
