I tore myself out of bed this morning. For the first five minutes, my thoughts were on the warmth that I was leaving behind and the cold that was about to embrace me as I trudged through the morning mist.
I fought hard with the blanket and threw it aside, found my running gear and resolutely headed for the road before my body was fully awake. Each heavy step forward activated my system as the warmth that was generated was more than enough answer to the cold all around me. My steps became lighter and lighter and I was soon in fluid motion, enjoying the breeze that was kissing my face.
My mind was in full mode and I could not help but think of the power of the human mind. The mind is the one thing that you can control. You can decide to use it so that it brings you nought but joy. In my case, I was happy that I had tuned it away from the warmth in the bed towards facing the cold .
In emphasising the power of thought,Marcus Aurelius said: The universe is change; Our life is what our thoughts make it. At any given time, your life is what you are thinking and if you think it often enough you will establish a pattern and before you know it you have a habit. Choose to think positive and uplifting thoughts.
When you give the misty morning cold, a chance to embrace you, she will engage you in a kiss whose effects will last you a whole day. Give her a chance: you will wear that smile throughout the day.
