What A Break

For more than two years we’ve all been hearing about Covid-19. This pandemic has practically led every news cycle for years now. I’ve been under the weather for about two weeks. Before the pandemic, I would have thought it was a bad cold or maybe the flu, but with the constant chatter of the coronavirus, it’s hard to not think about having that.

Anyway, I’m feeling more like myself once again. I’m back to writing, but the sad thing is that during my illness, Veronica probably got sick from caring for me. She’s not been feeling well for the last few days also. This thing is ridiculous. It’s put a damper in the way people interact and work. It’s changed the way we socialize. It’s changed the way we even think and behave. Which leads me to an interesting situation.

What if I did the same mental conditioning for myself? What if I constantly listened to, read about, and heard about successful business people and their habits? There’s certainly enough information available. An internet connection on my smartphone and a few keystrokes would yield an abundance of information. It’s probably more than enough for two years of constant bombardment.

How long would it take to recondition my mind for success? How many hours? How many articles and books? How many classes or self study courses would I need to take? It worked for corona so surely it can work for something else, right?

Today, Monday, January 31, 2022, I am grateful that:

I’m feeling more normal. I’m happy Veronica was here and took excellent care of me. I’m saddened to think I probably got her sick. She’s on the mend though, and hopefully will be back to her normal self before too long.

The epiphany occurred about mental conditioning. I’d done a small experiment years ago commuting to work. It only lasted about two or three months but it did yield some tangible results. Maybe an extended period of conditioning it’s what’s required for me and my current mental state.

I’m willing to maintain my integrity. There have been numerous instances presented which afford me the chance to compromise. I can do those things that are a bit easier and require less effort. It’s quite tempting; however, the loss of oneself in the pursuit of material things is most tragic. I’m not willing to commit spiritual suicide for monetary gain.

Are you willing to recondition your mind?

How much time will commit to that change?

Will you begin today?

Be Great. Be Grateul!!!
