Goldfish test

You can work and carry-on and put lots of little happy things in here. You can do anything your heart can imagine. Learn when to stop. This is where you take out all your hostilities and frustrations. It’s better than kicking the puppy dog around and all that so. Almost everything is going to happen for you automatically - you don’t have to spend any time working or worrying.

If we’re gonna walk though the woods, we need a little path. All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind. Work that paint. Get away from those little Christmas tree things we used to make in school. Only God can make a tree - but you can paint one.

If it’s not what you want - stop and change it. Don’t just keep going and expect it will get better. Once you learn the technique, ohhh! Turn you loose on the world; you become a tiger. But they’re very easily killed. Clouds are delicate. Everyone wants to enjoy the good parts - but you have to build the framework first.

La- da- da- da- dah. Just be happy. This is probably the greatest thing to happen in my life - to be able to share this with you. Just beat the devil out of it. Everyone needs a friend. Friends are the most valuable things in the world. If you didn’t have baby clouds, you wouldn’t have big clouds. We’ll put some happy little leaves here and there.
