It’s a better time of winter. Early and mid-winter in Michigan leave us with seriously overcast skies. Late winter has the sun showing its face again.
I haven’t used an alarm clock in years. My internal clock works quite well. This time of year has the sun shining into my room which helps get things going on the right foot.
We are only able to give out what we have first taken in. The old computer acronym was GIGO – garbage in, garbage out. If we fill our minds with dark negative thoughts, we will be dark and negative. If we will surround ourselves with positive optimism, we will lead a positive, optimistic life.
I had a roommate in college that would greet us in the morning by saying it was the best day ever. It hadn’t even happened yet, but he was making a declaration. He was setting the tone. If you asked him how things were going he would respond with, “Excellent. Never better.”
Zig Ziglar used to say, “A positive attitude won’t let you do everything, but it will let you do everything better than a negative attitude will.”
