The story about the dog sitting on a nail!
“One day a man was walking down the street on his way to work. As he walked down the street, there were dogs on just about every front porch and they all would bark as the man walked passed them.
However, there was one dog that he remembered, because this dog was just sitting there and he was whimpering and whining and moaning, you know the little whimpering sounds dogs make when they are wounded or in some sort of pain.
Well, this particular dog was just sitting there on the front porch making those sounds.
The man was curious as to why this dog wasn't barking like the other dogs and why he was whimpering.
He couldn't figure it out, so he just kept walking to work. The next day he was in the same situation where he was walking down the street and saw the dogs once again and this same dog that was moaning and groaning the other day was doing the same thing today and he just couldn't figure it out.
Well, he walked passed for an entire week and everyday the dog would be there moaning and groaning. So, finally, the guy got fed up, he said, "let me find out what's going on."
So he went and knocked on the door...

Quote For Today #35 - Find A Way To Do It!
"Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way."
- Abraham Lincoln
Chapter 27 - "Borrow Someone Else's Brain!"
Today's Empowering Quote:
"The body travels more easily than the mind, and until we have limbered up our imagination, we continue to think as though we had stayed home. We have not really budged a step until we take up residence in someone else's point of view."
--John Erskine
Today's Empowering Question:
"How would (insert name) handle this situation?"
Today's Fast Session:
"One of the things I hear most from people, and that I notice about myself, is that when you get an idea about going after some cool goal, often it's dismissed in a millisecond because you can't imagine taking the steps necessary to reach it. Imagining something that doesn't exist yet is a skill that very few people have...
But it just may be the single most important factor or skill in living a happy, contented, and productive life.
Usually, we don't get the outcomes we want simply because we can't imagine it. We aren't able to imagine saying the right thing or being confident no matter how much we prepared. We don't feel creative or successful, so that part of our mind stays hidden behind a brick wall. It's there, but we don't "let" it out. We "can't imagine it..."
Microwave ovens, disposable diapers, fax machines and email grew out of someone's mind. Forks had to be invented, too. All from the mind of a person.
In fact, simply...

Chapter 26 - "It's A Beautiful Day!"
"Today's Empowering Quote :
"It's a beautiful day. Don't let it get away."
--Bono
Today's Empowering Question:
"What beauty can I notice today, something I never noticed before?"
Today's Fast Session:
"You hear other people say it and you've probably said it 1,000 times or more. "Life's too short."
What better reason to take each and EVERY day and live it out loud. Now, I hear this sentiment once in a while but rarely is it put in such a way where the message doesn't sound like a commercial for Mountain Dew.
What a gift life is. Another day. Wow.
Think about it...
Quote For The Day #34 - Count the these that you can't count...

Chapter 25 - Purpose Gives Your Life Meaning
Today's Empowering Quote:
"Purpose is what gives life a meaning."
-Charles Henry Parkhurst, D.D.
Today's Empowering Question:
"What do I want the meaning and purpose of my life to be?"
Today's Fast Session:
Look at any person, past or present, who achieved truly great things. People you know. Behind their accomplishments you will undoubtedly find a passion and
love for what they do.
That deep emotion can only be aroused by a compelling purpose...
...an idea about what their life is to stand for.
So few people ever take even a few minutes and think about their purpose. Hardly anyone ever asks himself or herself, "What am I here for?" I never asked myself that question until October 1996...
Quote For The Day #33 - Don't aim for success...
"Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally."
- David Front
