Four things to constantly remind yourself daily to keep your mind open and not disillusioned:
1. There is no such thing as only a good person and only a bad person. 
2. Unawareness of ourselves and our actions leads us to categorizing our life.
3. Power can be intoxicating. Don’t let that overpower your control of your life.
4. Leaders of the self and others integrate their life as much as possible in EVERYTHING they do.
What is your relationship to _______________?  Fill it in and think about it. : )
Here are some examples: reading, writing, learning, eating, exercising, nature, music, hobbies, values, friends, family, science, technology, mathematics, literature, dancing
Whatever it is make it a memorable and life-enriching relationship.

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”— Henry David Thoreau

Think, think, think.

Here I am sitting in my room. Thinking about life with some music on. Brain dumping my thoughts. 

What am I here to do? It’s up to me. What am I here to share? It’s up to me. What am I here to value? The choice is mine. 

Have you ever truly sat in complete silence and pondered like this? I admire people that have the patience and mindset for it.

Whatever you do, do it well and love it. The world needs more people that have come alive and never stop moving forward and “keep on keeping on” no matter what. It’s fun meeting those people. Happiness in intelligent people is one of the rarest things I know. 

The song is ending…so think about it for a bit. Chances are if I have, other people have too. I feel alone, but I know I am not. 

The world is an amazing and strange place. So much happens in one day…if you knew…you would probably freeze in awe. Make your time count. =)

Today’s Thought - Thinking about Thinking

Thoughts are extremely powerful. The biggest question is what are you thinking about when you are doing the most mundane or easy tasks?

Very easily we can think negative things and make assumptions, jump to conclusions, live in denial, and so much more.

But with awareness, we can focus on the positive, appreciate the simple things, love those that are close to us, plan ahead, and further practice positive thinking. 

Thinking can make you or break you. Let’s face it, you are practicing positive thinking or negative thinking every minute of every day willingly or unwillingly. Just make sure you think about how and what you think about.

It’s all about awareness. With that, you’re closer to a more authentic and fulfilling life.
