I hope this doesn't sound familar

One evening a man is walking down the street when he hears a dog whining, it's not loud but enough to be annoying, it becomes increasing louder as he approaches a home with a large front porch. He sees an elderly man sitting in a rocking chair enjoying the evening and at his feet is an old hound dog crying in obvious discomfort. He walks up to the steps of the house and ask the gentleman "what's the matter with your dog" to which he responds "the dog is lying on a nail that is sticking up on the porch". The walker says "why doesn't he get up" and the dog owner says "it must not be painful enough yet". Unfortunately that is how far too many of us live our lives. The pain of financial, relationship or health discord is enough to invoke complaining or worse yet quiet suffering and a hope that things will get better by themselves, but not enough pain to get us unstuck. The truth is, we can use the same energy to create the life we have always wanted. We have the ability to get up off the nail, but we learn to accept our lives as they are and choose to endure the pain of not living our lives to the fullest. So my question to you is when will you decide to get up and get a hammer and put that nail where it belongs?

To Your Success,
