Yes, yes, and YES!
You may not have ever heard that phrase, but back when I started in selling, in the 1960s, that was pretty common. We had sales training meetings and we'd all get up and jump around and bounce off the walls.

Until we break out of thinking that it's a random world or that luck might just happen… until we recognize and accept cause and effect, that "if it's to be it's up to me" … until we realize that the unseen and the seen worlds react identically, then we can't harness our power.

It was Henry David Thoreau in the 1800s—the transcendental era of literature, if you're a literature major—who wrote in Walden: "The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation." Of course if he were writing today, he'd say, "The mass of people or persons live lives of quiet ... Views: 2770
