Starting it right

One very important thing I have been taught by the various master teachers in my life is that beginning things properly, with planning and forward thinking makes all the difference in the end. You need to plan your day in terms of attitude, accomplishments and so on. Starting it right is of utmost importance, no matter what it is! Enter your day happy and relaxed, and you greatly increase your chances of a healthy, productive day. After all, all we have is what we need just for today.

Some people find mornings filled with optimism, while others would just as soon stay in bed until the clock passes the noon hour.  For most, however, the workday beckons and the morning is a mad rush to get everyone ready and out the door. All that is charged of you as a disciple of the present state of your life is to take care of the reality of today. You need no more on your plate than you can handle comfortably and without good balance. With each sunrise comes new hope. Amazing energy is generated as the sun sweeps up into the sky and the rays touch everything on our planet. Darkness doesn’t merely disappear; no it is transformed into light though a miraculous chemical process. You should be there, up and ready to watch these processes and be a part of the transformation. Starting it right is a kind of ‘showing up’ that we need to learn to do if we want better results for ourselves.

This time of the day has significance to it. By making simple changes to how you start your day, you can really impact your over health, wellness, and overall outlook on life. Walk or run as the sun rises or simply just be with it in attendance, still and silent and you will share in one of the best daily experiences there are. When last did you take some time to see and be this change? Most of this book was written at this magical and mysteriously powerful time. I felt both energy and pure love creatively flow onto these pages. There wasn’t a day that went by where I could not feel it, where I was not part of it.

So I think I know the secret,

Learned from many a troubled way:

You must seek him in the morning

If you want Him through the day
