 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Have you
\never had a problem with a burned light? Thanks to the effort of Thomas Edison
\nwe no longer need to invent a light bulb. We just go to the store or our
\ncupboard and pull one out and put in the bulb holder and wow light is there.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I am sure
\nyou realize that it took Thomas Edison many, many tries before he perfected the
\nlight bulb. Someone asked him one day if he grew discouraged by his failures.
\nHe answered, \u201cI haven\u2019t failed, I\u2019ve discovered one more way how not to make a
\nlight bulb\u201d .<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

You see,
\nthere is no such thing as failure, there are only results. Someone once said
\nthat the definition of Insanity is to do something over and over again and get
\nthe same results.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

In order for
\nour life to work properly we need to make some changes to the things we are
\ndoing.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Just like a
\nlight can burn out, so can we. Life can become dark and depressing and we feel
\nthere is no light, no hope in sight. It\u2019s a fairly dismal picture for sure.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Let me shine
\nsome light on this situation (pun intended). When we are feeling so low and
\ndeep in the pits, this is when we need light to see our way through. Some of us
\nare lucky enough to have some light on hand, others must go out and retrieve
\nit.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Many people
\ntry and invent light for themselves by thinking positive thoughts but it only
\ntakes them so far. It only gives so much light. There is more light available
\nbut people are at a quandary as to how to obtain it.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t
\nhave to be like Thomas Edison and keep looking at the problem and thinking of
\nways to solve them.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

For every
\nproblem there is a Solution.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

How do we
\nfind the solution? We can try, as we said, to try and figure it out by
\nourselves, or we can find someone who has already surpassed this obstacle and
\ndo what they did.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

There are
\nmany books on the market today that can help us to understand how to overcome
\nthe obstacles in our lives. We need to read and learn from the failures of
\nother people. They have been through it all before and can help to teach us how
\nto go through it now. There have been great thinkers in our history and we are
\nfortunate enough to have their trail to follow.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

We all need
\nmore light in our life. Sometimes we can\u2019t see the light at the end of the
\ntunnel but there is always hope and help.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Learn how
\nothers have overcome their challenges and keep that education inside of you so
\nthat when you are feeling low and life looks dim, you can pull out those
\nresources to help you light up your life again.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t try to
\nre-invent the light bulb, Learn how to carry the light within yourselves. My
\nbest wishes.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
