By Donald Schnell
What a week this is going to be, right?
Opportunities, ideas, new ways of looking at things...
You create your Spiritual Success today!
Spiritual Success? This is
success you achieve from following spiritual principles to happiness that lead to your worldly and spiritual success.
Your success begins with LITTLE THINGS
Almost twenty years ago, I remember wanting some chicken. So I ordered a salad and some broiled chicken. When
salad came, I added
chicken to
salad creating my first main course salad. I learned this healthy idea from Marilyn Diamond's bestseller, Fit for Life. A thought occurred to me . . .
Most people don't do that.
The thought of adding "high water content foods" to their meals is ridiculous to most people...
So they buy all kinds of diet books and join a health club, hire a personal trainer but still don't drop any weight.
Before I go any further, this discussion isn't about weight loss or exercise...
.... It’s about doing little things to reach your spiritual success… your enlightenment.
Clients always want to know how they can be more effective. Well, once you're pointed in
right direction, it comes down to little tiny decisions that on their own don't seem like they make a bit of difference. Like putting your chicken in your salad and not having any bread or carbohydrates with
meal.
Does one main course salad make such a huge difference in your health?
Of course not.
But you've got to keep
big picture in mind & keep it BIG!
You know
old metaphor about
tree that took a thousand swipes with
ax to be felled? The big question is which blow knocked down
tree,
1,000th or
999 before it? Or
many before that? Which weakened it enough?
You can't get where you're going without taking each and every step. It's
little things you do each day that make a difference. That's why I call this Enlightenment 101. It's easy. Just take
little steps.
