Good Morning 6.20.2007

Did you know that scientists can predict how much energy you will have in the afternoon based on what you do within the first hour of waking? You'll learn the routine that increases energy and many more tips you can apply immediately in your life. (And no, you don't have to run 3 miles every morning!)

Next Class Begins July 16

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, our well-made plans of sending cards, homemade gifts, early shopping, baking and other celebrations often get lost all together or become stressful instead of enjoyable.

'The only way in which one human being can properly attempt to influence another is by encouraging him to think for himself, instead of endeavoring to instill ready-made opinions into his head.' ~Leslie Stephen

Good morning! One of the things I always strive to do with my employees is develop independent thinking on many levels. I am less interested in hearing my opinion repeated, than I am in hearing their original opinions.

I have always been like this in politics and the news as well. While I might watch a news show, I am not convinced or swayed by simple summaries or quick coverage. I then investigate the topic on my own, from many sources, forming my own opinion. And I take this principle to child-rearing as well. While there are certain values that I (and I am sure many parents) instill in their child, I am careful to instill what I feel are my 'core values' and then leave plenty of room for my daughter to create her own thoughts, opinions and viewpoints of the world. Encouraging this independent thinking creates a natural curiosity about life.

Your turn:
Today, observe how you are influenced by opinions and how you influence others. Ask more questions, do more research, develop your curiosity and the curiosity of those you care about.

Your affirmation:
I form my own opinions, building a curiosity for life
