Step out of line.........

"It is difficult for people to come to the understanding that only a small minority of the people ever really get the word about life, about living abundantly and successfully.  Success in the important departments of life seldom comes naturally, no more naturally than success at anything - a musical instrument, sports, fly fishing, tennis, golf, business, marriage, parenthood, landscape gardening.

"But somehow people wait passively for success to come to them - like caterpillars going around in circles, waiting for sustenance, following nose to tail - living as other people are living in the unspoken, tacit assumption that other people know how to live successfully.

"It's a good idea to step out of the line every once in a while and look up ahead to see if the line is going where we want it to go.  If it is, it could be the first time."

-Earl Nightingale
