This from Jon Hughes...
n the final chapters, I was struck most by the notion of "being the
board". I loved the line, "Gracing yourself with responsibility for
everything that happens in your life leaves your spirit whole, and
leaves you free to choose again." This concept is difficult for people
to grasp, but it is ultimately something that has great power to help
create happiness. I would compare this chapter with the very popular
quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, "No one can make you feel inferior without
your consent." If you can fully understand this message, then you can
become a much happier person. You will still get knocked over from time
to time, but the amount of time you stay down will be greatly decreased.
Once you realize that happiness comes from within, you become the
master of your life, and you will then be ready to pass on your graces
to others.
My response....
Jon -
"Grace yourself..." I love it! To put it in the words of
Forest Gump, "Stupid is as stupid does." If you want success, then you
have to get it; if you make a mess, you have to clean it up. You always
inspire me with your creative and very insightful approach. You are one
of those guys that whenever I read something of yours, I always think,
now why couldn't I have thought of that.
Nice job.
