Good Afternoon. Here is a great thought for the day: Talk about habits In cultures that depend on elephants for labor and transportation, it's common to tie untrained elephants by their legs to a bamboo tree, using heavy-duty rope. After three or four days of trying to free themselves, the elephants give up. Their spirit is broken. From that time on, they can be restrained by tying one leg to a small peg in the ground — something they surely could escape from with minimal effort. But at the least resistance, the elephants don't try to get loose; they have learned helplessness. Like the elephant, sometimes we are all bound by little imaginary ropes, when just a little effort would set us free. You'll never know if you don't try.
"Each morning is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When the sun rises tomorrow this day will be gone forever, in its place will be something you have left — may it be something good. Follow your heart, it knows what to do."
