Inspire Me

Great achievement is born of a struggle.

Our strength grows out of our weakness, said Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Not until we are pricked and stung and sorely shot at, awakens the indignation which arms itself with secret forces." Strife and struggle can inspire you to overcome adversity and to propel yourself to real achievement. View every struggle as an opportunity for personal growth. It is the struggle itself, not the result that builds character. If you know you are right, stay the course even though the whole world seems to be against you and everyone you know questions your judgment. When you prevail -- and you eventually will if you stick to the job -- they will all tell you that they knew all along you could do it.

Studying Napoleon Hill's 17 principles for success has changed my life. Timeless in nature, direct, helpful and full of daily inspiration, Napoleon Hill is one of my many mentors and heros.

The Zen Proverb, "When the student is ready the teacher appears" this discribes how I felt when Napoleon Hills work came into my life.

On this Mothers Day, I give thanks for my dear Mother, Mother-in-Law, and for my three beautiful children and six, perfect grandchildren. All have taught me the most important of lifes lessons. LOVE!!


In Gratitude,
Danna
