No goal is achieved, no dream realized, until you
• write it down – as they say, “when you think it, ink it.”
• share your dream with a friend who has your best interests at heart, who will hold your feet to the fire. In your heart of hearts you know this is true: if the thing just sits there, it is dead because an unspoken, an unwritten, dream is no more real than a one-sided coin.

It’s all in the attitude. The story of the Garden of Eden, looked at prosaically, shows Adam and Eve - a husband and wife team - involved in a multitude of mundane activities: sowing, irrigating, tilling, harvesting, storing, distributing. They could have viewed themselves as live-in gardeners on the estate of some absentee Landlord. But instead, the harmonious meshing together of all these disparate elements became "Paradise". The psychological source of this harmony was, of course, their attitude, their sense of self worth. Just like them, you and I can transform the plethora of the mundane within which we are positioned into Paradise by transforming our attitude, our sense of self worth. For we are not nearly so hermetically sealed off from Paradise as we've conned ourselves into believing. It’s ALL in the attitude.

I came into this world with nothing, and that’s how I’ll leave. When death comes, everything I’ve garnered since birth will be taken away – all my worldly goods, toys, family, talents, the lot. All I’ll take with me is the love, the peace, the encouragement, the vibrant sense of justice, the childlike sense of wonder that I’ve given away with God’s very own prodigality. In fact, my guarantee of eternal bliss is that they’re the only “things” that belong to that realm of the timeless and the spaceless, a realm that is – surprise, surprise! - my natural habitat.
