The Shoemaker And The Elves

Remember the story of the Shoemaker and The Elves?

The shoemaker would go to sleep and the elves would finish any shoes he hadn't gotten around to.

Our minds function in much the same way, Our conscious, logical mind is the shoemaker. Our subconscious is the elves.

Give your conscious mind a goal, gather all the facts and let the elves do their work.

Many of our greatest inventions and discoveries have come after the scientist or researcher had given up and the elves took over.

The structure of DNA had baffled researchers for years. Finally, the double helix was revealed in a dream about intertwined snakes.

Around two years ago, I gave my little friends the task of providing me with an ezine article a week. I gathered the ideas and they wrote the articles.

They've written around 100 articles.

It makes my life so easy.

They do the work.

I get the credit.

When I sit down at the keyboard, the articles write themselves.

The next time you're stumped for an answer, gather the facts and move out of the way. The elves will be more than happy to do the work.

They're tireless.

Wishing You Success,
