Pre-Conditioning 2 Propel U 2 Prosperity in your Actions

[Guest guest]

Every time I re-read this story of Doc's, I think of the old

Indian parable. I've actually heard several versions of it, but one

goes that a seeker wanted to achieve enlightenment. When he

approached a master to ask him to help him achieve this, the master asked

him just how much he wanted to achieve this. The student hemmed and

hawed, and said something like " very much. " To his

surprise, the master grabbed him, threw him in the river, and held his

head under the water. When he finally let the fellow come up for

air, the student asked the master why he had done such a thing. The

master responded, " How much did you want a breath of air just

now? That is how much you must want enlightenment if you are to

succeed. "

Now, Doc might not have intended that intensity, but I am reminded of

it.

Odd ... that's how Doc got me to read " Looking Out for

#1 " by Robert J. Ringer.
