J: John Lennon (All You Need Is Love)
John Lennon wasn’t the only one who said “All you need is love.” Og Mandino said it, too. Yes, yes. There are a lot of people out there who haven’t gotten the message yet. We can’t control that. We can control what we think and do. Greet everyone with a mental “I love you.” Let the smile a genuine love evokes shine through, and let the emotion come out in your voice and be amazed at the positive effect it has upon those around you.
If those around you don’t seem to respond. Don’t worry. Sometimes the response is delayed. Even if it isn’t, you’ve done your best. And you have benefitted from feeling the love.
We’re in for a fun ride this month. You can only stop in for a day? Afraid you won’t find your way back during the challenge? Then please sign up for this email list now which will provide several weeks of preliminary related materials to the Master Keys course and also put you on the early notification list for when the course opens up in September. Signing up to the list earns you a free copy of the 7 Day Mental Diet. Please believe me when I say there is Nothing Like It. Love is all you need.
John Lennon was indeed a great musician. It’s too bad his life ended as it did.
Thanks for the reminder about love.
Shalom,

Og Mandino is one of my fave Christian authors. I own all his books. Read him in my early years. I need to revisit those books they were good story.

Great message. Good reminder. It does work. Thank you, Jean. Nice to meet you on the A-Zs. I connected with you via Pat Garcia’s “Everything Must Change.”

After spending the day working on the challenge, my daughter and I went down to the beach with the dogs. I love going down there because having the dogs breaks down the barriers and we chat to to all sorts down there. My little black dog is very friendly and such a tail wagger and just goes up to strangers saying hello. She’d make a great therapy dog even though she lacks finesse. She rolled in a dead shark down there.
I wrote a letter to John Lennon for my series of letters to Dead Poets. He mentioned these words in his reply. That all my kids need is love and the rest doesn’t matter. That timely reminder is what jolted off my laptop to spend time with my daughter and make the most of our beautiful beach…especially as Winter is round the corner.
I’m enjoying your series very much!

Dogs are wonderful for helping start conversations. And the beach is a great place to be able to take the children, too. I’m glad you’re finding time to make those memorable moments for both you and your children.
