Cancer Success Thoughts

“One learns by doing a thing; for though you think you know it, you
have no certainty until you try.”
– Sophocles (496-406 BC)

In the sixteenth century, there was a fabulous painter by the name
of Francis Moneau.  He started painting when only a child, and
received rave reviews for the few pieces of small landscape art he
created.

When he was seventeen, he decided to paint a landscape that would
take nearly a full wall sized canvas.  He got the canvas, and began
to plan the painting.  On paper and slate boards he sketched and
designed.  He revised, imagined and redrew the dozens of different
aspects of what would be his masterpiece.

When he died at age 39, he had not made one brushstroke on the
canvas–in the twenty two years he owned it.  Nor did he paint even
one small painting during that time.

It is great to study.  Make plans.  Envision the successful outcome
of your knowledge and how you will do what you do.  But–somewhere
the rubber must meet the road.  Start.  Do something.  Even if it
isn’t perfect–go for it–take action.  Choose one small step and do
it.

And, even though you’ve learned and planned–until you take action,
the game is not in play.  From entering into action, you will make
mistakes, you will have successes–but best of all, you will be
moving forward.

For truly, until we commit, until we practice and work on our
skills–we can not have the certainty we desire.

Best of Success,

Dr. Larry
