Change Your Mind, Change Your Life

To prepare for her upcoming 21st NYC marathon at age 81, Joy Johnson of San Jose, CA, runs 55 miles a week. "When you wake up it can either be a good day or a bad day," Ms. Johnson Says. "I always say, 'It's going to be a good day.'"

When asked at her 80th birthday party, "What keeps you going, Lorna?" my mother said, "You've got to get up and just know that something good is going to happen today."

Is our Reality a choice? Can we make it a bad day or a good day? These women seem to think so. The "ki" in Aikido means energy, power, life force. How are you spending your ki today ... right now?

The Dalai Lama said, "If you don't like what's happening in your life, change your mind." It only takes a moment to breathe, center, and change things for the better. How about taking a moment now to become fully aware of your energy, your life force, and to make it a great day.
