First Words

I have a confession to make. I've been keeping something
to myself that was meant to be shared with others. If I didn't tell you
about it, I would be guilty of a terrible sin.
Can you imagine discovering a gold mine in your own backyard? Suppose you were
digging a new garden or planting a shrub, and your shovel struck gold-lots of
it. No doubt you'd be overjoyed as you envisioned paying off all your debts.
Within minutes you'd probably be imagining yourself living in a bigger
house and driving a nicer car.
But what if you discovered more gold than you could possibly ever want or need?
I'm talking about tons of gold. Now remember, you didn't earn
it. You didn't deserve it. You were just planting tomatoes.
If you discovered tons of gold in your backyard, you'd probably
start thinking about your relatives. You'd contemplate paying off their debts and sending them on vacations to Hawaii. Think of how your mother-in-law
would approve.
And if there were enough gold, you'd probably start wondering how you could
help your friends and neighbors. Maybe you could put some of their children
through college. Or, wouldn't it be fun to buy everyone on the block a
brand new Cadillac?
A few years ago I discovered a wonderful secret, and it changed everything for
me. I mean everything. I know other people who know about the secret,
and it has revolutionized their lives as well.
This secret was meant to be shared. There is no justification for keeping quiet
about it-which is why I've written this book.
I'm sure there are others like myself-those who know the secret but have
kept it to themselves. They feel guilty, just like me.
One of those people obviously loves you very much-so much that he or she has
given you this book, hoping you would come to share in the knowledge that has
changed his or her life. I encourage you to read it with that in mind. And please
forgive us both for waiting so long to tell you this.
