The Second Decision for Success
The Second Decision for Success...... I Will Seek Wisdom.
Knowing that wisdom waits to be gathered, I will actively search her out. My past can never be changed, but I can change the future by changing my actions today. I will change my actions today! I will train my eyes and ears to read and listen to books and recordings that bring about positive changes in my personal relationships and a greater understanding of others. No longer will I bombard my mind with materials that feed my doubts and fears. I will read and listen only to what increases my belief in myself and my future.
I will seek wisdom. I will choose my friends with care.
I am who my friends are. I speak their language, and I wear their clothes. I share their opinions and their habits. From this moment forward, I will choose to associate with people whose lives and lifestyles I admire. If I associate with chickens, I will learn to scratch at the ground and squabble over crumbs. If I associate with eagles, I will learn to soar to great heights. I am an eagle. It is my destiny to fly.
I will seek wisdom. I will listen to the counsel of wise men and women.
The words of the wise are like raindrops on dry ground. They are precious and can be quickly used for immediate results. Only the blade of grass that catches a raindrop will prosper and grow. The person who ignores wise counsel is like the blade of grass untouched by the rain - soon to wither and die. When I counsel with just myself, i can make decisions only according to what I already know. By counseling with the wise, I add his knowledge and experience to my own and dramatically increase my success.
I will seek wisdom. I will be a servant to others.
A wise person will cultivate a servant's spirit, for that particular attribute attracts people like no other. As I humbly serve others, their wisdom will be freely shared with me. Often the person who develops a servant's spirit becomes wealthy beyond measure. Many times, a servant has the ear of the king, and a humble servant often becomes a king, for he or she is the popular choice of the people. He or she who serves the most grows the fastest.
I will become a humble servant. I will not look for someone to open my door - I will look to open the door for someone. I will not be distressed when no one is available to help me - I will be excited when I am available to help.
I will be a servant to others. I will listen to the counsel of wise men (and women). I will choose my friends with care.
I will seek wisdom.

Hello Dean!
Nice to meet you here! Can't say I have any questions about sewing since it isn't one of my hobbies.
You mentioned you are looking for ways to promote and learning SEO. I've found one of the best and free ways to do this quickly is to have a Squidoo site.
There are groups here about that subject that can give you tips once you have a lens up and running as to how to increase your lens rank and therefore your results in the search engines.
Lens are really quite easy to set up
