Chapter 311

Its Monday morning, Its a blank page. Its a fresh start. Its a new beginning. Embrace the chance to start anew. Engage the beauty of an unmarred week. Take a deep breath and feel the possibilities. See the mental clean slate like another January 1. Set your posture for the week, page, or fresh start. Do not, I repeat do NOT allow anyone to rob you of this moment. It feeds your soul, it changes your view, it is as necessary as air to your thriving. Feel it!

Don’t smear this mental start with the jarring soul-sucking clanging of every bad piece of information available in the whole wide world - this is what they call “news” in this country - an intensely negative filled experience of every possible negative thing that has happened in the entire world in the last 24 hours. I always find it astonishing that people fill their minds with this drivel. Do bad things happen? Yes. Do I need to know about every one of them? No. Some argue that I need to know in order to protect myself from bad things happening to me. Think about that for a bit, and perhaps you will come to realization that most thinking persons have, that you can’t protect yourself from bad things. No one ever has nor ever will be able to do so. Shit happens to everyone. It has happened to you in the past, and may again in the future.

But don’t let that steal this moment of a fresh start from you. You can make so many great choices about how to live your moments today, tomorrow and this week, that won’t involve any “news” show if you are wise and committed to your best health, strongest mind, and richest future.
