    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE OLYMPIC GAMES ... 

    “Never underestimate the POWER OF DREAMS and the influence of the HUMAN SPIRIT. We are all the same in this notion: The POTENTIAL FOR GREATNESS lives within each of us.”

     ~ Wilma Rudolph - Olympic Champion

    Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely at 4.5 lbs., the 20th of 22 siblings;  Rudolph contracted infantile paralysis (caused by the polio virus) at age 4.  She recovered, but wore a brace on her left leg and foot (which had become twisted as a result) until she was 9.

    Wilma Rudolph was considered the FASTEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD in the 1960s and competed in two Olympic Games, in 1956 and in 1960.

    In the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome Rudolph became the first American woman to win 3 GOLD MEDALS in track and field during a single Olympic Games.

    Don't be afraid to TAKE RISKS Benjamin!
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RISK TAKING ...

    “The person who RISKS NOTHING,

    DOES NOTHING,

    HAS NOTHING,

     IS NOTHING,

    and BECOMES NOTHING.

    He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply

    cannot LEARN and FEEL and CHANGE

    and GROW and LOVE and LIVE.”

    ~ Leo F. Buscaglia

    MAN CANNOT DISCOVER NEW OCEANS UNLESS HE

    HAS THE COURAGE TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE SHORE!

    It's  HOT out there Benjamin!
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW CD THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SUMMER HEAT ...

    You KNOW its HOT when ~

    >  The birds have to use POTHOLDERS to pull worms out of the ground.

    >  The cows are giving EVAPORATED MILK.

    >  The trees are WHISTLING for the dogs. 

    >  You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.

    >  Hot water now comes out of BOTH TAPS.

    >  You realize that ASPHALT has a LIQUID STATE.

    IT WAS SO HOT THE OTHER DAY THAT I TURNED ON

    THE LAWN SPRINKLER AND ALL I GOT WAS STEAM!

    STAY COOL Benjamin!

    Benjamin ~ Make It a GREAT DAY my friend!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF LOVE  ...

    "You will find as you look back upon your LIFE

    that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED

    are the MOMENTS when you have DONE THINGS

    in the SPIRIT OF LOVE."

    ~ Henry Drummond

    THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.

    WHAT IS SACRED?  OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?

    WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH

    DYING FOR?  THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.

    ONLY LOVE.

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
