When first I perused the material, it was unstirred fruit yogurt.
I began to dig a bit deeper and now can espy the fruit.
Outfit me with a snorkle! Here I come!

Take it down and go through it again.
Particularly if the first time it seemed (pardon me, John) a bit boring and obtuse.
My guess is that it is you and your level of understanding, not the material!
I have been reviewing and reworking this stuff prior to implementing some changes in our business activities, and it is amazing what a little maturity and understanding on my part have done to my interest in, and what I am getting from, the tapes and books.
Let me also add that it is a treat to realize how much of it is clear now - even if my brain, when tired, still finds itself being bested by my HP19 !
So, take heart (and I KNOW there are some of you out there, just like me, and won’t admit it!!). Look at it again. You were RIGHT the first time when you said to yourself:
“oooh. This is something I should learn about” and bought the materials.
Don’t let them go to waste!
Have a great Sunday!

It’s a matter of stirring it or it stirring you. - Posted by John Behle

Pardon you! - I’m not a warden, but you should go to jail for that comment.
It’s like yogurt. The first two times I ate yogurt I didn’t get it. Both flavors seemed the same and not that pleasant. No one had pointed out that the fruit was on the bottom and I needed to stir it.
It was about me - not the yogurt.
I’ve been at this about 24 years and I actually did the videos - yet when I pass by and watch some of it - it jump starts ideas for me. As hard as I am on myself at times, even I think it’s good material. Oh well, another boring, obtuse post from John 
We can’t all be as Periphrastic as Bill.
