When starting a new work at home business it is very easy to become consumed by it. We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation.

Ihave always delighted in his brand of preaching, balancing as he did theglorious with the practical. I justresonate to the way his mind works it all out so beautifully for us. His tagline was You can change your life byaltering your thoughts and his mission was to spread this idea toeveryone. He espoused how a simpletweaking of an old idea could cause a ripple effect in your life that changeseverything. He gave me this one idea that has persisted: each day as youmake up your bed - make up your mind. (Atrue logophile, he loved using words in a way to help one remember the points hewas making.) So first I began the habit of making my bed. I admit to not always seeing the importanceof this small duty, and thereby often ignoring the task. But I discovered an interesting thing. When I bothered to do it, I noticed that asense of order seemed to command my day. That in itself was a little life changing, certainly for the better. Then I began to say to myself while making the bed, I amnow making up my mind that today I will seethings rightly. This is from anotherButterworth euphemism Dont try and set things rightly, but seethem rightly. So instead of trying tochange outer conditions to set things right just see what is alreadyright. Aha! I had discovered the secret formula. And you can, too! This is your golden egg, your sacred weapon,your hope of glory. You see, you get to decide. The whole thing is UP TO YOU. Youcan decide that what is happening to you is awful or awesome. So simple, right? Ah, but heres the catch. Ready?... You have to remember to do it. We wake up each morning and for some of us,the day begins immediately. The babys awakeand hungry, or the phone rings or your nail breaks picking up your coffee cupand before you know it, its lunch time. And the day has seized YOU, you didnt seize the day. It is critical that we make the decision each day to see thegood. Make up your mind that today youwill look for the good in EVERYTHING that happens. As Shakespeare said in Hamlet, There is nothing either good or bad, but thinkingmakes it so. And remembering to actually doit - see the good - is the key. Makingyour bed is as good a place to start as any. If you can remember to do that, and at the same time, make up your mind,well, your good day is assured. Or atleast you have an auspicious start! Itsall up to you, so you might as well choose the good.
