This Day ~ Og Mandino

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life, but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of people, and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.

My reasoning they may counter. My speech they may distrust. My apparel they may disapprove. My face they may reject, and even my bargains may cause them suspicion, yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.

I will greet this day with love in my heart.
