Most of us Connecticut-to-New York City

commuters feel that our railroad timetable

is a mild form of fiction published for the

amusement of the regular riders.

Recently, however, one early-morning train

did make it to New York on time.  Where-

upon the man seated in front of me turned

to his seatmate and said, "The train's

right on scheddule this morning."

'Thank goodness!"  replied the other man,

looking up from his newspaper.  "I thought

my watch had stopped."

When Henley wrote the poetic lines, "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul," he could have informed us that we are the masters

of our fate because we are masters, first, of our attitudes.  Our attitudes shape our future.  This is a universal law.  The poet could have told us with great emphasis that this law works whether the attitudes are destructive or constructive.  The law states that we translate into physical reality the thoughts and attitudes which we hold in our minds, no matter what they are.  We translate into reality thoughts of poverty just as quickly as we do thoughts of riches.  But when our attitude toward ourselves is big, and our attitude towards others is generous and

merciful,  we attract big and generous portions of success.

Don't aim at success--the more you aim

at it and make it a target, the more you are

going to miss it.  For success, like

happiness, cannot be pursued; it must

ensue, and it only does so as the un-

intended side-effect of one's personal

dedication to a cause greater than oneself

or as the by-product of one's surrender to a

person other than oneself.  Happiness must

happen, and the same holds for success;

you have to let it happen by not caring about it.

I guess I am not a very good blogger. I was 42 years old when I had my first stroke. I would not mention this but today I am not feeling good emotionally.  It is just a bad day.

I was going to write each week but all I can do is apologize. Since my last writing I have been listening to public domain audiobooks.
