TODAY IS "MAGICAL"!
MONDAY'S ARE "MAGICAL"!
Think about it - YOU have the ability, the POWER, to make today whatever you want it to be! Oh, I know, there are some of you that are arguing with me right now about this, trying to tell me that I don't know your boss or I don't know the stress you're under or a million other things.
Hear me - IT DOESN'T MATTER!
Oh, I know it matters as far as "it is important" to you and your life. However, when I say IT DOESN'T MATTER, what I mean is this: regardless - REGARDLESS of any or all of these "things" that you want to mention - you STILL have the ability and the power to make today whatever YOU choose!
Why dread Monday? Why not, instead, realize that you have the chance to set the tone, not only for your day, but for your whole week! YOU chart the course! Do you understand that?
If you have been following my podcasts and/or my blog then you should have begun, by now, to understand the POWERFUL FACT (yes, FACT) that we DO have the ability within each of us to CHOOSE our path for the day. Will there be roadblocks? Sure there will. Will there be people trying to sabotage what we have planned for our day? ABSOLUTELY!
But, BE PERSISTENT and STAY ON COURSE - THE course that you have set for your self and your mindset.
TODAY... and the REST OF THE WEEK!
Yes, you can!
And, while you're at it...."Make it an AWESOME Day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"

The Mind STUCK in MUCK
What was your mind made to do? By "mind" I'm talking about our brains.
Go back in time and think about how much you learned early on in your life. Just in the first few years of life we likely learned more than we have in all of our years since then combined!
It's been proven that children have the ability to learn just anything and everything when they are young. Jim Rohn (www.jimrohn.com) talks about a discussion he had with a friend of his that spoke several languages. This discussion caused him to ponder to his friend, "I wonder how many languages a child can learn?" To which his friend replied, "All of them!" His friend went on to say that the major problem was the lack of those to TEACH these languages to children. So, if the child has a teacher, it is possible for a child to learn far more than we can imagine!
What happened?
Has our minds - yours and mine - become STUCK in the MUCK?
Have they become "bogged down" in apathy? "I'm not going to learn anything I don't have to! I did enough of that in school!" is an attitude that I have actually heard expressed. Now, I understand someone right out of high school and even college saying that out of "relief" of graduating - but shouldn't that thought change after a while?
Should we not CRAVE more knowledge?
How many people (perhaps you) have a job that does not challenge them in any way? How many people go through their workday with mind-numbing activities that do nothing to stimulate your mind or challenge you to think and consider new/better ways in which to do things?
I CHALLENGE ALL OF US to take this seriously! Even if you feel that you cannot do anything about your situation at work (I think we can, but that's for another discussion) then it is even more important for us to find ways to stimulate our minds when we are away from work.
The problem is this: because we have been bored all day we actually feel more worn out than if we had been busy all day! Boredom has a way of completely sucking the life right out of us! So, the very need to do SOMETHING to stimulate our minds often goes unheeded simply due to our "mind-numbing" activities actually numbing our mind!
What will YOU do? What are things that YOU (and I) can do TODAY to stimulate the mind?
HERE'S THE KICKER! If we would do this we might be surprised to find out that we also have the ability to do something about our position at our workplace! Think about it.
Writing (like for MJ's author blog here) is an EXCELLENT way to stimulate the mind. Whatever it is - DISCOVER IT and DO IT!
And, by the way, PLEASE - if you have young children at home - start NOW in helping them THINK and EXPLORE using their mind.
Our future depends upon it!
