Bonjour Son,
How are things going there today? Well, here it is sunny and beautiful. This looks like good day for a quick bike ride before I jump back into work.
This year has been nothing short of exceptional in so many areas of my life. That doesn’t mean that there haven’t been challenges. As previously stated, challenges in life are inevitable, but defeat is optional.
Now, to be real, I don’t wake up every morning jumping up and down about the thrill of a brand-new day. There are times when I feel less than energetic or enthusiastic. Fortunately, there is always something I can do about it. I can adjust what I’m focusing on.
These phrases may sound overly simplistic, “when you control your thoughts, you control your life” or “either you control your thoughts, or you allow your thoughts to control you”. So, for instance, if you are feeling tired and sluggish when you wake up, don’t focus on how tired and sluggish you are. You can find some way to elevate your state. One example would be to turn on some upbeat music and dance around in your pajamas! Some might laugh at this as being silly, but I would say to them, don’t knock it until you try it. Besides, what’s wrong with being silly from time to time.
There are many, many ways to elevate your state by shifting what you focus on. Personally, I believe that starting your day off in a positive way will increase your chances of ending your day in a positive way.
Well, that’s all for now!
Have an amazing day and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Dad
