This man gets up every morning, takes his shower, shaves, eats
breakfast and climbs down the stairs and boards the bus for a 45
minute ride. He steps off the bus and feels the beach under his
feet.
He walks the beach up and down every day all day long looking for
the Statue of Liberty. Low and behold there is no Statue of
Liberty.
As night falls, he stretches and looks out over the water to see
the Santa Monica pier and turns and spins around to see the
"Hollywood" sign. He boards the bus disappointed again because he
did not find the Statue of Liberty. He has been doing this for
years. Every day he does the same thing.
Once again he goes to the Santa Monica pier, much more disappointed
than the day before, sits in his chair crying tears of sadness,
dismay, frustration. Finally a woman walks up to him and
asks him why he is so distraught. The man tells her every day he
comes to the Santa Monica pier to see the Statue of Liberty, but he
can never find it. The woman says to him, "No wonder you cannot
find it. You are in the wrong State."
The lesson here is even if you are a well-meaning person, if you
are in the wrong STATE OF MIND - you will not find what you are
looking for. You must be in the right STATE to achieve anything in
life.
Truly Caring for Your Success!
