BIRTH MurdockswelcomeAustinRiley VanessaandCoreyJohnMurdock,ofFortWaltonBeach,Florida,welcomedason, Austin Riley, on Jan. 11, 2017. Austin weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces and was 20 inches. He is the grandson of John and Genie Murdock and great grandson of Dave and Juju. The famous early- twentieth century escape artist, Harry Houdini, traveled the country- side, locking himself in jails, only to escape, as a method of furthering his reputa- tion (and in- creasing his audiences). As the story goes, there was only one chamber from which he could not free himself. Houdini entered the fateful cell and began his usual routine once the iron bars clanged shut. From his belt, he removed a concealed piece of metal utilized to pick locks, and set about as he had done countless times before. Whereby every previous security device had soon swung open, he could not achieve the desired results on this occasion. Finally, after labor- ing for hours, bathed in sweat and exhausted, Houdini collapsed in frustration against the cell door, defeated. As he fell against it, it swung wide — it was unlocked the entire time. Because Houdini be- lieved he was trapped, he was. So too are we ensnared by our beliefs. If I do not believe I can change, in effect, a victim to circumstance, I will forever remain stagnant. If I do not believe that I am entitled to happiness, I will never achieve it. If I do not believe I can lose "those extra pounds," all the forces of Heaven and Earth cannot force suc- cess upon me. It matters not the number of "ex- perts" and self-help gu- rus who ply me with easy- to-follow step-by-step in- structions, exercise plans, positive affirmations, or medical research. Let's see how that plays out with the afore- mentioned weight loss. On January 1, I declare that 2017 will be the year I finally drop those extra pounds. I don't really be- lieve I can — never hav- ing been successful at previously — but I move forward anyway, more out of a sense of obliga- tion than excitement. Things move along well for a month or so, and then I have a temporary setback of two pounds. We spend a great deal of energy validating our beliefs so due to those re- strictive beliefs, I will see the two pound gain as validation of what I al- ready "knew": that I can- not lose weight. "It was only a matter of time," I'll say to my- self. "I knew it couldn't last." Beliefs influence feel- ings; therefore de- feated and despondent, I think, "Why am I wast- ing my time?" From such thoughts come appropri- ate actions; in this case that would be getting off the scale, tossing my diet materials in the trash, and deciding to give up for now. I revert to old habits. My losses evapo- rate, my bulks returns. The final consequence is my beliefs are again validated and the cycle resumes. The reality about change — in any capac- ity — is that it is rarely a linear progression, even for the ultra dedicated and diligent. Rather, it is a learned skill, trial and error. Those successful at changing their habits move forward two steps and backwards one. In effect, it's a "more times than not" kind of a thing. If my belief is that pe- riodic setbacks are part of the process of change, I will still feel frustrated and saddened by the set- back, but shall continue the course, possibly mak- ing some corrections. What we say to our- selves become our be- liefs; if they work, they are of value to us. If not, it is vital we change them. Believe me. Next week: How to ad- just beliefs.

Police logs For more than 50 years $5,000 in greenbacks has been reposed in a grandfa- ther's clock in the garret of the home of Miss Annette Perham, near Marysville. The other day Miss Per- ham, who has lived in the house all of a half century, employed a stray hobo to clean out the garret. He found the money and turned it over to Miss Per- ham. She gave him a tip of 50 cents and, accord- ing to his story, a tract ad- monishing him that hon- esty is the best policy. The money was printed before the civil war. It is worth its face value. It is in denom- inations of $10, $100 and $500. — Jan. 27, 1917 100 YEARS AGO...
