“If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Ned’s Note:
One thing is for sure, if you think you can’t do it, you won’t do it. So, what are you self-sabotaging this week?

“Don’t
ever tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise
you with their ingenuity.”

General George S. Patten

control freak?

“If someone calls you a horse, you can ignore it. If two people call you a horse, you might want to consider it. If three people call you a horse, you had better buy a saddle.” Anonymous

Ned’s Note: This week, listen and become aware. It is the first step toward improvement and change.

“Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding.”
Jacob Bronowski

Ned’s Note:
This week, think about how much force you use to get others to come along. Now, think again. And one more time. Okay, maybe you will use a little more leadership this week instead of forcership. (I just made up that word.)

“Animals are such agreeable friends–they ask no questions, they pass no judgment.” George Eliot

Ned’s Note:
Well, they will ask for a treat and some love, but I know what Mr. Eliot meant when he said this. The question I have for you this week, who among your friends will you judge?

“Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him.” Aldous Huxley

Ned’s Note:
I am going to change this quote slightly this week. Wisdom is what a man does
with his experience. What wisdom have you gained this week?
