Message of the Day - It is a great day, if you choose it to be

Good Morning,

 

What a day for weather around the United States!! It is times like these that we often hope for the schools to close or the businesses to close and to just go back into bed and curl up under warm covers.

 

I think that these are the times to, in fact, make your next move or start your next plan, or read your next book, or achieve your next goal. Days like this can be an inspiration rather than a let down. Remember, from Victor Frankl, we choose how we face the situations handed to us in life.

 

Sure it is gloomy, stormy and dangerous out there, and I am not suggesting we throw caution into the wind and drive out without any preparation or put ourselves in danger. Rather, I am suggesting that we look at this day as a chance to up our adrenaline and focus on what we want to achieve.

 

In a game I once participated in, there was a feature we called ‘Adrenal Focus’ where the character who successfully employed this skill could choose one item, one job, one task and do nothing but that task, and do it many times better than normal. It was as if the world around them ceased to exist as they did their one task.

 

Why can’t we turn our blasé feelings on this weather into productive thoughts and drive to help us get along to where we want to be. Get that book read, clean that room, organize those shelves, call a relative you are overdue calling, or write a few letters.

 

It is a great day to get what we want done.

 

Enjoy!
