August 4

My birthday was two days ago. It is hard to believe that I am 57. Just looking at the number seems strange. I realized in looking back and reflecting that I am always been fascinated by the power of the human mind and the ability to influence your mind to do things. I remember when I was an early teenager reading about monks who learned to control their body temperature so that they could stay outside in the cold for long periods of time without warm clothing.

I see now that this year of living intentionally really is about learning to train your mind to do, achieve, experience, what you really do want in your life, whether it is greater love, relationships, career, wealth, or whatever.
