Have a Fantastic Week and remember to make every hour in your life - HAPPY HOUR!

There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction. - John Fitzgerald Kennedy

TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Keep doing the same thing and you will keep getting the same results.
Two men were avid moose hunters. Every year they chartered a plane to take them to the Canadian back-country. This year hunting was especially good and in a few days they each bagged a moose. They radioed for their pilot to come back and pick them up.
When the plane arrived, the pilot took one look at the animals and told the hunters they could not take back such a heavy load.
“But we spent all week hunting for these moose,” they protested. “And besides, the pilot we hired last year wasn’t worried about the moose’s weight.”
After much argument, the pilot finally relented and allowed them to load the moose. The heavy plane was only airborne for a few minutes when it lost altitude and crashed into the side of a mountain.
As the men struggled out of the wreckage, one hunter, asked, “Where are we?”
His friend answered, “About a mile farther than we got last year.”
Keep doing the same thing and you will keep getting the same results. It is true of flying and it is true of living.
What is not working well for you? A habit you are trying to break? A relationship with a parent, spouse, child, or friend? What is a source of ongoing frustration? Getting around to that project you keep promising to complete? Never having enough money to pay the bills? Running up against the same old walls at work?
The truth is, if you keep doing the same things you will keep getting the same results. So, if you don’t like the way things are turning out, something must change. Are you reading to try something different? – Steve Goodier

An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men. - Thomas Fuller

ACTION
A little bear cub was confused about how to walk. “What do I do first?” he asked his mother, “Do I start with my right foot or my left? Or both front feet and then my back feet? Or do I move both feet on one side and then both feet on the other?”
His mother answered, “Just quit thinking and start walking.”
She was wise, for things will happen only after we put aside thinking and talking and start doing.
Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari, said that everyone who has ever taken a shower has an idea. It’s the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference. Or, as columnist Sydney Harris puts it, “Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.” One of the most important lessons we can learn is to act on a good idea.

Accomplishment is easiest when we work the hardest, and it is hardest when we work the easiest.
