3/17/07: The Downright Truth

If you want to improve your life, if you want to finally live the life you've been desperately striving for, the one that seems so close, yet so far, the one beyond your wildest dreams and aspirations, you must know this truth.

Affirmations do not work.

Goal setting does not work.

Self-Help books do not work.

Seminars and workshops do not work.

Motivational speakers do not work.

Positive Thinking does not work.

Even The Daily Dose does not work.

So then what does work?

Only YOU.

YOU work.

Only YOU can improve your life. You can use all the tools and resources known and unknown to humankind, but if YOU are not making the internal change, if YOU are not doing YOUR work, if YOU are not consistently conscious, you will see modest and temporary results, at best.

Only YOU can reach deep down, way down inside there, and find that drive, that ever-present force within you, and pull it out, use it, connect with it, tap into it, feed off it.

And when you've lost touch with it, when you've lost your motivation, your energy, your strength, your desire, your will, your self, only YOU can reach back down, deep down inside, and find it again.

And again. And again.

Only YOU.

YOU work.

Use YOU.
