"You get everything your write Down"

There is a rule that I heard at a seminar years ago that "You get everything you write down." I have found this to be true.

The reality is that people just write down a very few things and get a very few things. To really focus on what one wants at the center is difficult.

Then step TWO with that list: PERSIST:

The reality is that normally folks give it the "old college TRY". Try, Try, Try till their PEERS are satisfied. However.....it is something again to give it a lifetime of persistence, and few obstacles can withstand that kind of focus. It takes grit and faith. Pray for both.

Treasure the stories in your family of persistence. In our family there are classic stories of persistence---the story of Mark learning to ride the bicycle. Or Mark learning to play baseball....with artificial legs. As Mark said at his dad's funeral----He never told me I could not do it."
