Power: ability to do or act; capability of doing or accomplishing something.
Force: strength or effort exerted upon an object; physical coercion.
Power emanates from within. It enables one to accomplish tasks through the positive exercise of the law of attraction. According to the law of attraction, you attract people and circumstances of the same nature as your actions and attitude.

Police were baffled after someone used a cutting torch to open the vault in a store in the LaHaye building in Ville Platte early in the morning of June 21, 1962. The culprits got away with $20,000 — which may still be the biggest robbery ever in Evangeline Parish.
The police might have stayed baffled if one of the robbers, disgruntled over his share of the loot, hadn’t decided to tell all.
John Wade Fontenot was the one who tipped off the police. He said the mastermind was an ex-con named Earl (Blackjack) Dupre, and that the third man was a guy named Joe Young.

To continue from the last column, here are some more excuses that don’t have to apply to you. You can be a success expert.
Things never work for me

It has been nearly thirteen years since Calvin H. Borel won the spectacular Kentucky Derby finish! He was often called Bo Rail for his tendency to hug the rail, which doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out it is the shortest path to the winner’s circle. On May 1, 2010, the Catahoula native won the 136th Kentucky Derby while riding 8-1 Super Saver, making this Calvin’s third win in the last four Kentucky Derbies. It was a tremendous achievement that has never been accomplished before!
There were some pretty good thunderstorms across south Louisiana on April 24, 1953 — the kind we see regularly when fronts slide through the area. Nobody suspected they were the beginning of a series of downpours that eventually sent every stream in south Louisiana way out of its banks.
Twelve people died as a direct result of the floods they caused. Damage was estimated at $35 million, second only to the harm brought to Louisiana by the great flood of 1927. The area between the Atchafalaya and Sabine rivers got the worst of it.
