Quote of the Day 05/13/2019

Here we are at the beginning of another work week and another Quote of the Day. Everything starts with the mind. I saw this riddle once, “What does a flat tire and a bad attitude have in common? You can’t go anywhere until you change it.” It sounds amusing but it’s also profound. Every action begins with the decision to act. Sometimes that decision comes easy and so fast that we scarcely have time to register the thought before we are in action. Other times we agonize over that decision. We stress and worry and deliberate endlessly before coming to the conclusion to act on one side or the other of that choice. But it all starts in the mind. Until I made up my mind to change and to do something differently I could not have made any of the changes I’ve made. That doesn’t mean that taking my time and analyzing a situation before acting is bad, but until I have made my mind up I cannot act. If I cannot act then I cannot make any changes. Take a few minutes today and make sure your mind is ready for the change. It won’t be easy, simple or likely fast but you are worth that effort. Have a blessed day, y’all! Stay safe, stay dry and enjoy a beautiful day.

Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
