I don't know if many people on this list are students along with me and millions of others every Monday night with Eckhart Tolle and Oprah. But, I ve read the book and now have been attending classes. Anyway, Eckhart says in his book, that one of the lessons that life gives you are 'obstacles'. These obstacles are there to weed out those who really don't have the staying power to succeed. But, if you persevere and continue to work at it. . You will become successful. One could give this advice to Juniors and Newbies ... What some call paying your dues'.... is really life's obstacles.
