Good Afternoon. Here is a great thought for the day: Give A Push Harry Houdini, the famous escape artist, issued a challenge everywhere he went. He claimed he could be locked in any jail cell anywhere in the country and be able to free himself in a short time. He never failed in this challenge except for one isolated incident. One day Houdini walked into a jail cell and the door clanged shut behind him. From under his belt Houdini removed a strong but flexible piece of metal. He began to work, but something seemed odd about this particular lock. He worked for 30 minutes with no results. Frustrated, he labored for another hour and a half. By now he was soaked in sweat and exasperated at his inability to pick this lock. Completely drained from the experience, Houdini collapsed in frustration and failure and fell against the door. To his surprise, the door swung open - it had never been locked! The door was locked only in the mind of Houdini. More often than not, many of the doors to our success are locked only in our minds. Never assume you can't open them. Just give them a PUSH.
"Each morning is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When the sun rises tomorrow this day will be gone forever, in its place will be something you have left — may it be something good. Follow your heart, it knows what to do."
