Thought for Today

After we fry the fat, we see what is left.

—Yoruba proverb

Reading it, saying it, preaching or teaching it does not make it work. The only way to do it is to:

1. Begin within, take quiet time alone.
2. Trust your head, follow your first thought.
3. Don’t be fooled by appearances.
4. Plan prayerfully; prepare purposefully; proceed positively; pursue persistently.
5. Be willing to be wrong.
6. Be flexible.
7. Do the best you can where you are with what you have.
8. Be prepared.
9. See the invisible; feel the intangible; achieve the impossible.
10. Focus + Courage +Willingness to Work = Miracles.
11. Help somebody else.
12. When in doubt, pray.

I’ve got it now.
