When my son was about 2 years old I took him to his daycare center where he had been going for about a year. One day we visited the new toddler room that he would be attending the following week. He hesitated to walk into that new room and held tightly onto my hand (which was quite unusual behavior for him). It took him several minutes before he would let go and explore his new surroundings.

I've come to believe that we are intelligent. By that I mean that part of us is part of a creative intelligence that created the universe. That intelligent part of us is the source of true inspiration. It is the source of major achievement because it gives us the vision of our heart's desire. I've also come to believe that we created our bodies with an ability to be programmed. The program runs without intelligent intervention unless something out of the ordinary happens. Then we are alerted to fix the problem. Unfortunately we are trained that our intelligence evolved.

JUST FOR TODAY 1. Just for today I will be happy. This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that “most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of exte als. 2.

GOAL SETTING, HOW TO HANDLE THE VARIABLES OF A GOAL In Goal Setting, there are variables. Some variables are out of your control and so it is best to identify them as such.

Other variables can just not be influenced at all, and should be acknowledged as such. From Time Mapping: I have separated variables into two groups. + Influenced Variablesrn+ Uninfluenced Variables
