Does anybody know know anywhere on the net that I can find a poem called 'A Word About Effort'?
I was shown it on my PRMC and I liked it then and tryed to find it but I didnt know what it was called. Since then I have meet a guy in my troop who has it but now im on leave I want to show it to my family.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Matt

Is this it, Matt?
The only limitation placed on our abilities is the inability to easily recognize our unlimited nature. It takes effort to become aware of our staggering and limitless abilities, it takes effort to become enthusiastic over a cause or an occupation. It takes effort to continue when our results as well as our friends tell us to give up trying. It takes effort to feel right about everything that happens, the joy and the sorrow of life. It takes effort to learn to love ourselves above all others, especially when we are so conscious of our failures, doubts and tragedies. It does not however take effort to fail. It is ironic that one of the few things in this life we have total control over is our attitude and yet most of us live are entire life behaving as if we have no control whatsoever. By our attitude we decide to read or not to read, by our attitude we decide to try or to give up, by our attitude we blame ourselves for our failure or foolishly blame others. Our attitude determines whether we love or hate, tell the truth or lie, act or procrastinate, advance or recede, and by our own attitude, we and we alone actually decide whether to succeed or fail.

The one im looking for is called 'a word about effort' though the message is basicly the same as the one you posted.
Thanks a lot for your time though. If I do find 'a word about effort' im sure you would like it, if I cant find it online ill write it down when I get back to CTCRM and ill post it next time I have leave.
Thanks again,
Matt
