The Most Destructive Illusion about Success (--- Copyright © Michael R. Norwood, D.C., C.C.N. )
Have you ever put your heart and soul into a project, just to see your very first attempts to make it succeed miserably fail? If you have, you are no different than most other successful people.
Despite that we all are attracted to the "overnight success stories" we see on television and in the news, for most people, these stories can ultimately be more disillusioning than inspiring. Rather than fortifying us for the long and bumpy but ultimately joyous and successful journey ahead whenever you launch a new endeavor, having the image that it's all going to happen overnight for you very likely will be your undoing.
Despite that illusion, are you continuing to take one small but enthusiastic step ahead at a time?And by doing that, have you also discovered that not only are you gradually changing your own life, you are changing others lives, as well?Don't let your dreams be destroyed by shallow illusions.The greatest of lives are made all in the same way:One challenge . . . one hurdle . . . one step . . . and one small victory at a time.

Take seven matchsticks and arrange them on a table to make two adjacent squares of the same size. The matchsticks should look like the number 8.Now, moving only two matchsticks, can you make....200?
You cannot:
Stack the matchsticks.
Bend or break the matchsticks.
Remove the matchsticks. Scroll down for the answer ......
Answer
Assuming that the matchsticks are upright (forming an 8), take the upper-right match and place it horizontally above the 8. Next, take the match on the lower-left of what now looks like a 6, and place it vertically just above the match you last put down. What you should have is 1/5, or .200 . Ellipses only consist of three points, not four. In other words, I asked you for .200, not 200.
(Ellipses - series of dots (...) following a command, indicating that more choices are available through a dialog box.)
Have a memorable day and a fun-filled weekend!
