Start with the Person in the Mirror

Start with the person in the mirror is a book packed with analogies, stories and quotes. It encourages people to look outside the box. A lark made her nest in a field of young wheat. As the days passed the wheat stalks grew tall and the young birds to grew in strength. Then one day, when the ripe golden grain waved in the breeze the farmer and his son came into the field. This wheat is now ready for reaping, said the farmer. We must call in our neighbors and our friends to help us harvest it. The young larks in their nest were much frightened for they knew they would be in great danger if they did not leave the nest before the reapers came. When the mother lark returned with the food for them, they told her what they had heard. Do not be frightened children, said the mother lark, if the farmer said he would call in his neighbors and friends to help him do his work, this wheat will not be reaped for a while yet. A couple of days later the wheat was so ripe that when the wind shook the stalks a hail of wheat grains came rustling down on the young larks heads. If this wheat is not harvested at once said the farmer we shall lose half the crop. We cannot wait any longer for help from our friends. Tomarrow we must set to work ourselves. When the young larks told their mother what they had heard that day, she said we must be off at once. There was much trying of wings that night and when the farmer and his son cut down the wheat, they found an empty nest. When a man decides to do his own work and not depend on any one else you can be sure that there will be no delay. Self help is the best help. Satan is not scared of the person that only reads self help books or goes to church and only listens and walks out. The person that he hates is the person that lets things go into their mind and heart and acts on them.
