by Chapter 10 already, five more chapters to go. I hope you are practicing the skills Mr. Hill is imparting upon us. As you practice means action and action means progress. Think of the reason you started this journey and use that reason as your overall motivation to actually put reading into action. It is this action that will move us out of our comfort zones and get us one step closer to our desires.
So, enough of the pep talk. I am curious re-considering my choice of our next book. As I continue to read this book, I can’t help but think that it may be beneficial to come back to The Law of Success after we have had an opportunity to hear from another author. Maybe an author with a message for this recession. But then I can’t help to think that Mr. Hill’s lesson’s are timeless so I should stick with the original selection. Well, at least I have five more chapters before I must make the final decision. I would love to read your thoughts and suggestions. Until then, I am going to return to the task at hand – posting my favorite quotes and our questions for reflection.
