A mediocre result is 1000 times better than a perfect idea. Can you imagine what our world would be like if Microsoft waited until they had a perfect product before releasing it?

He said, “Sir, I have not failed at all. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that do not work, and each attempt brings me closer
I’m trying something new here. The talk is called “An Opportunity to Upgrade” and is probably best described as an inspirational message, with some “how to” as well.

If you wish to manifest prosperity, then you must take positive action to produce prosperity, either for yourself or for someone else. If you wish to manifest love and harmony, then you must take positive action to increase the
Trust the guidance that comes from within. There is a source of guidance within you that is never wrong.

What you expect, you experience. This is the core ‘secret’ behind all the teachings around the Law of Attraction and other manifestation methodologies. A very powerful miracle-worker once said it this way: According to your faith is it done to you.

I used to worry a lot. The more I worried, the worse everything got. Finally, I realized what I was doing to myself, and decided to try something different.
