“You can never possess what you’re unwilling to pursue”. (Mike Murdoch) Have you ever wanted something so badly that you just couldn’t get it out of your mind?! Unfortunately, that’s where it stayed…in your mind! It’s like losing weight. I can sit in a chair and WISH I was a size 6. I can drive by the gym and WISH I had a membership. I can talk about losing weight, think about it, dream about it but until I’m willing to chase after it, I will never see any changes in my life.

Sitting next to the bed is your fingernail polish so you stop and paint your nails after making the bed. Success at cleaning your house depends on what you are able to ignore. And that’s true for any job you tackle. That’s wisdom!!
