Good Evening. Here is a great thought for the day:

It's like the story of the man who sat in front of the stove and said to it: "Give me heat and then I'll add the wood."

We've got to put the fuel in before we can expect heat. Likewise, we've got to be of service first before we can expect money. Don't concern yourself with the money. Be of service... build... work... dream... create! Do this and you'll find there is no limit to the prosperity and abundance that will come to you.

Prosperity, you know, is founded upon a law of mutual exchange. Any person who contributes to prosperity must prosper, in turn, himself. Sometimes the return will not come from those you serve, but it must come to you from someplace because that's the law.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Remember that your success will always be measured by the quality and quantity of service you render, and money is a yardstick for measuring this service.

No man can get rich himself unless he enriches others.

There are no exceptions to this law. You can drive down any street in America and from your car estimate the service that is being rendered by the people living on that street. Had you ever thought of this yardstick before? It's interesting. Some, like ministers and priests and other devoted people, measure their returns in the realm of the spiritual, but again, their returns are equal to their service.

Have a wonderful day.

"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."
