Just like so many out there I have gone from feeling great about myself to downright lowsy and worthless, ready to just throw in the towel. Sometimes I feel like I'm treading water and every so often my head goes down and I gulp a mouthful of water, before I find some hidden energy and bob back up again.
In this book, there is a story about a man, an uncle of R.U. Darby who went West to dig for gold. He procured the needed equipment and Darby and his uncle began mining in a great spot. Great, that is, until the vein of gold disappeared. Eventually they gave up and sold the equipment to a junk dealer.
The junk dealer was a wise man, and he sought out a mining engineer, who told him the vein would pick up again in just three more feet. And that's exactly what happened! That junk dealer ended up making millions mining that gold.
Three feet...thirty-six inches, was all that separated Darby's uncle from aquiring his dream.
So today I say get your "pick ax" and keep digging. You may only be three feet from your dream, too.

That's a great inspirational story. I've got to remember it!
Thank you. It's a really good book. There are examples like this of people's determination to succeed throughout.
