This book is very practical. You can get results with these simple steps: 1. Determine the worst that could happen.2. Accept its possibility as the outcome.3. See what you can do to improve the situation.4. Try your best.Also, do not wrestle with the inevitable. Lord, grant me strength to accept the things I cannot change, the will to change the things I am able, and the wisdom to know the difference. Let it be. Once you have created a plan and decided to go through with it, there comes a time in the execution of that plan that there should be no turning back. It would be counterproductive to do so, even if you realize it isn't the best plan. It is best to make a note of it and keep on truckin'. Don't hold grudges. Don't expect people to be grateful for you actions, help other people because you want to. More Important: Be yourself! "Praying, in a way, is very much like writing our problems down on paper. If we ask help for a problem − even from God − we must put it into words." pg. 209 Who is Dorothy Dix? There is a stamp commemorating her. Always keep an ace in the hole. Always keep your line of supplies open. Make your contingency plan.
