The Greatest Story Ever Told
by Michael S. Clouse
What is the greatest story every told?
The story of Moses? The teachings of Jesus Christ? The life
of Gandhi? Perhaps a few good books come to mind... The
Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino; or James
Allen's masterpiece, As a Man Thinketh? And what about
that towering novel by Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged? True,
there are others that could (and should) have been added
to the list... Great people, perhaps even greater
stories—but what is the greatest story ever told?
When Earl Nightingale recorded The
The Strangest Secret over 50 years ago, this world was a
very different place. Folks grew up, went to school,
got a job, fell in love, married and planned on spending
the next 30 plus years of their lives working towards
the "Golden Years" of retirement. Little thought was
given to becoming more—after all, that's just how
life worked—50 years ago.
Today, things are changing, and personal
development is leading the way. Homemakers frequent Anthony
Robbin's seminars. Mark Victor Hansen, along with Jack
Canfield, have become household names through their mega-hit
series Chicken Soup For The Soul, and millions turn on their
televisions every week, to see and hear what advice
Dr. Phil will be offering.
Why this sudden urge to experience more out
of life than just a paycheck? How are so many learning to
become happier, healthier and live more successful lives?
The answer is personal development.
Located inside Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas,
gracing the third pillar to the right, framed and bolted
permanently in place, hangs a living testimony to the awesome
power of personal development and, perhaps, one of the greatest
stories ever told. This original letter with the word "Secret"
printed top and bottom in red ink, is now displayed for
all the world to see...
My Definite Chief Aim
I, Bruce lee, will be the first highest paid
Oriental Super Star in the United States. In return I will give
the most exciting performances and render the best of quality
in the capacity of an actor. Starting in 1970 I will achieve
world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will
have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please
and achieve inner harmony and happiness. —Bruce Lee, January 1969
Although his life was cut short, Lee lived
as he had chosen to live. He created his own story, and right
or wrong, lived it to perfection. So, what is The Greatest
Story Ever Told? With the power of constant and never-ending
improvement, by design, it could be yours!
Therefore, if you too are searching for a
bit more out of this thing we call living—
design your life,
follow your plan, and always remember: You are becoming
what you think about.
So what are you thinking about now?
All the best,
MSC
