If it doesn't work keep working because you aren't finished.
It will work, especially if we are at our end. Most of us fail, however, because we aren't. On the contrary, many of us refuse to entangle in the interim knots that are inevitable. So, we double our dilemma by tying one in the middle, upholding what hinders our success.

SUCCESS AND SANITY
No one smiles when a friend is ill.
Sanity demands that we laugh at ourselves. In fact laughter heals the soul, according to Solomon. But if it persists it could signal sickness, because sane people don't let years lapse without pursuing their dreams. Nor do they don apish grins when asked about their goals. If so, their laughter is sickness not salutary. Sane people don't use humor to hide their hurts or to silence their haunts (indefinitely at least). This is a tactic of the insane who use mirth to mask their lunacy. Yet beneath their hearty humor is a hurting child in need of healing.

WORKING DREAMS
Moods prevent some and moats prevent others from transforming themselves.
Dreamers labor when failure follows. They battle because they are determined to succeed. In doing so, they create the conditions that nurture their dreams. Characteristically, they use luck when it falls and fear when it stalls and discourages. During these times, moreover, they celebrate themselves for enduring because they know just how easily failure discourages.

ON CONCEIT
Imagine having no habit that required no concern. Imagine being flawless and debt-free. How would you handle this mantle? Is conceit as inevitable as we say when too many things go our way? Or can we be accomplished without being tarnished thereby?
