powerful and wise words, Jerry. I agree, we lack the personal responsibility or courage to use the tools at hand. Have to fave this Monoku. enjoy your evening, Sara

Agreed. What's lacking is the will-power.

Self-confidence is something that many people lack.

The older I get the more I feel this is true, Jerry. We have what we need but lack the energy to use it well. Bill

My wife and I used to make fun of our parents. They would get up to work on something for about 15 minutes and then take an hour break. Now that we are their age, we marvel at the fact that they could last 15 minutes.
