I recently spoke with a gentleman who was having a bad morning… he grouched, “I’m having a horrible morning and in a bad mood… you know what that’s like”? My initial thought was, “No”, but I didn’t want to seem as if I was better than anyone else and I also wanted to give it more thought. As I thought more, I realized my initial response was correct… I have not had a grumpy, bad, or negative morning since 2011. Now… every morning does not go my way, I have three kids that need to get to three different places, and my day begins at 5:00am, but I haven’t had a “Bad” morning… Why?
I explained to the gentleman my business of helping people EVOLVE. In 2011, I began searching for inspirational quotes, coming up with my own, and developing thought-provoking questions to share with members of our clubs Men Evolving Now and Women Evolving Now. In the morning, I wake and immediately post a quote or question of the day. This simple process of bookending my day with positivity, inspiration, and success has transformed my life… staring with my morning, throughout my day, and in every aspect of my life.
As the years have passed, I have found myself living my dream and added numerous features of what we offer: videos, blogs, leadership training, books, etc. The constant reading, writing, research, and mission to enjoy life and EVOLVE has made it very difficult to have a bad morning, day, and life. Most people will live by and only react to their feelings… not realizing you are driven by your thoughts. The real order of operations is your thought impacts your feelings, your feelings will lead to your actions, and your actions will determine your consequences (either positive or negative).
Feed your mind and spirit positivity, truth, and inspiration on a regular basis and watch your life transform. With the new year quickly approaching, many are focused on what they will put into their bodies, losing weight, and more tangible goals… what’s the point if your mind is unhealthy… you’ll be a miserable slim person… with more stuff… and more energy to complain! Focus on what you will feed your mind, your life, and your relationships. Happy EVOLVING!!!
