Hey Gang:

Obstacles here again.  Looks like I'm going to have to be a little bit more active now that many of you are excited and earning money.

Well, let me tell you, I've got a little something special conjured up for you.  And I'm actually letting you in on one of my biggest secrets by sharing this with you, but, what the heck.  I am a cocky dude anyway, what with my awesome track record of stopping people from succeeding and turning them into big, giant LOSERS, that I feel no compunction letting you in on one of my largest and most successfull strategies.  It's called the "Luke Warm Project."

It works like this.  You see, the world has its crazy overachievers , like that pesky Orrin Woodward and his band of "change-the-world" cronies.  There is not a lot I can do about them (but don't worry, I never give up.  I've pulled some pretty big levers in this past year and I've got a couple more up my sleeve.  Stay tuned).  And the world also has its large population of people that cause me absolutely no concern: the lazy, the bitter, the complainers, the whiners, the back-biters, the gossipers, the liars, the cheaters, the hypocrites, the underachievers, the takers, and all the other of their ilk.  But it's the ones in the middle where I focus most of my time.  Depending upon how well I do with this group I can make a huge un-difference. 

It's the people who are neither hot or cold; the ones who aren't passionate either way; the ones who just hang out in the middle hoping to get to death safely, carefully making sure they don't risk anything or dream too big.  It's these hapless souls I focus in on with my extremely high intellect and my discouraging bag of tricks. You see, if I can keep those in what I call the "squishy middle" from getting inspired by those crazy LIFE folk, then I can keep them from ever accomplishing much.  I can get them to waste their gifts, distracting them with pleasures short-term and fleeting, and get them to trade "good" for "great."  In fact, I really don't want them knowing that "great" even exists.  I try to tell them that they've got it about as good as they can expect, and to have more would require more of them, which they probably don't want to give anyway.

I can also use doubt, skepticism, laziness, discouragement, pride, ego, jealousy, and all the usual weapons on them.  The passionless people in the middle make easy targets: the reason is because they have no spine.  They don't stand for anything so they will fall for anything I throw at them.  I distract them with a shiny object or a picnic and they become unproductive for days.  Stretch a few of these occurrences together and it becomes a habit.  Ahhh, and that's where I shine.  Habits are my best buddies.  They, when bad, can work against the people in the middle so well, that the people don't even realize it.  That's where blame comes in.  When bad habits produce bad results, as long as the person can find someone or some set of conditions to blame they don't have to take responsibility themselves.  If they never take responsibility they will never change themselves or grow and get better.  And if they never change themselves, well, then they will never change their results.

And there you have it: my masterpiece!  The Luke Warm people!  You can see them around you in society by the millions!  They walk around like zombies, corpses working in big "corpsorations," talking about televisions shows, reading gossip magazines, running errands and just generally passing the time.  God gives them life, and they return it to Him unused.  I love it!  (And I'm good at it)!

So go ahead and try to stop me!  Just try standing for something!  I'll send doubt and fear your way.  Or maybe I'll send status (you're too sexy to sell juice!  What will your friends think)?

Oh, you passionless people are so fun to mess with!  I get to do my worst with you and you blame others!  Perfect!

So go ahead and wimpify! 

You know you want to!
