When a man whose marriage was in trouble sought his advice, the Master said, “You must learn to listen to your wife.”
The man took this advice to heart and returned after a month to say that he had learned to listen to every word his wife was saying.
Said the Master with a smile, “Now go home and listen to every word she isn’t saying.”

There was once a monk who would carry a mirror where ever he went. A priest noticed this one day and thought to himself “This monk must be so preoccupied with the way he looks that he has to carry that mirror all the time. He should not worry about the way he looks on the outside, it’s what’s inside that counts.” So the priest went up to the monk and asked “Why do you always carry that mirror?” thinking for sure this would prove his guilt.
The monk pulled the mirror from his bag and pointed it at the priest. Then he said “I use it in times of trouble. I look into it and it shows me the source of my problems as well as the solution to my problems.”
No, if you think I'm going to explain these parables, I am not. I want you, dear reader, to evaluate it and apply it to your Home Business, dont stop there apply it to every aspect of life, to everything/one you want to evaluate!! Practice self observation not self obsession.
Lets begin the week with a firm resolve to 'set our faces like flint' and move towards true freedom and success.
