Motivation of the Day

Well said. Thank you for the inspiration.

This is so true, well said!!!! Thanks for the extra motiviation!!!!

I used to attend some lectures (for want of a better word) given by a fellow who was an advocate of some easy meditation type techniques. He used to say willpower will fail of itself.. I forget the exact words but that was more or less it. This applied to doing anything but he used the specific example of dieting.
So when we start you have the 'awful' picture of how we are. So he says get a good image in your head of that and put it in a black frame. Now visualise how we want to be. Put that along side the black frame and surround it with a while frame. Visualise them both carefully. Now discard the picture in the black frame and never go back to it. Just hold the image of how you want to be in the white frame.
So it is important to take a few moments out to still your mind and bring up your picture of how you want to be in its white frame. Do this in the morning and as frequently as is convenient. I think it works.
I hope someone might find this helpful.
