Wisdom from?

Usually when I am trying to figure something out or in a pensive mood you can find me at the local library or book seller. I happened upon a book that was left behind warming up the chair I was about to plop in. It had an interesting cover - I randomly opened it to this bit of text. It's by Jim Rohn...

"What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our life. Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish, we can start a new activity. Any day we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year."

We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed,"The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today."

Humm... made me wonder about the challenges that may be facing me on the horizon... you too?

Til next time....
