It is with great pleasure that I say GOOD MORNING. Even though every morning to me is GOOD, this MORNING is BETTER-THAN-EXCELLENT. I, like many others, did not think I would live to see the day that a Black Man would become President of the United States of America. Just think about that for a moment. I mean really let that sink into your subconscious mind where all of the truth is stored. How does that feel to you? How much sleep did you get last night? What is the meaning of all this?
Our brain has a filtering system called the reticular activating system (RAS), which filters all the information that attacks our senses. However, the RAS only allows significant information to enter our minds. Barak's RAS was in high gear. He set clear, concise goals, so that all the right information came through. Now, he is the PRESIDENT of the United States of America. President Obama, job well done. Oooh that title fits him well.
My professor reminds me that the goal comes first and then you see. Barak had a goal and then he followed his vision that led him to this moment of victory. If you go without a goal, you won’t know what you are looking for. If you think this message is just for you, think again. I'm talking to myself too. Enough said. Let us use what is within us and follow our own path to greatness.

ACTION:
What labels are you putting on your life?
What words and phrases do you use... "should" and "must" or "choose" and "prefer"?
What information do you give permission to enter your mind? How are you using that information?
What do your words say about your attitude today?
