Daily Gratitude: Good ole Albert was such a wise man. Remember that there is a difference between being smart and being wise. Lots of people are smart (accumulation of knowledge) but not so many are wise (knowing how to apply that knowledge in accordance with the laws of the universe – living).

So. No matter how many times you have to do something over, keep doing it. People say I am persistent because I just kept applying to medical school no matter how many times I was rejected. I don’t think of it as persistence. I had nothing else to do with my life….plus God had told me I was going to he a doctor.

I had what Napoleon Hill calls your definite purpose (or your definite chief aim..you can use whatever term works for you). Nothing was going to get in the way of my achieving that!

Of course I would have failed had I stopped applying but I didn’t. There were so many reasons the universe knew it wasn’t the right time for me to get in. I didn’t know any of that and so I was bitter and angry. I even lost all my faith in God. But surprisingly I didn’t lose the desire He had planted deep in my soul.

If you want something, keep trying. Find a way!!!
