A very happy Monday and a fresh start to the week. The last few days of March are here and this is the last Monday in March as well.
This will also be the last Mojo Mantra next Monday April 4th I will be introducing the Monday Morning Minute so something to look forward to next week.
This week I want to start off the week with a thought, a challenge of sort, an eye opener and mind energizer.
The thought and idea will be the last Monday Mojo Mantra so here it is:
It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion;
it is easy in solitude to live after our own;
but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd
keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We should be smarter than the herd. We should think before acting on the common status quo. The Chinese proverb that speaks of the mind of the many goes like this:
One dog barks at something, and a hundred bark at the bark.
~Chinese Proverb
The mind of a child at a very young age knows no limitations but as we as parents raise them we try to conform them. The world asks us to control our children and raise them to be polite, stay safe, play fair, don't hit but as we as adults grow older we go through the stages of finding others that turn it all around and become at times rude, live with danger, and we hope they don't hit when they are unfair.
Now of course we should train our children, and later in life not conform to the angry and unfair but we should think differently from time to time.
Think outside the box, color outside the lines that someone place for us. A quick video about those who do just that:
Being someone who sees things differently, someone hungry and foolish who strive to look to make things better is indeed a game changer, a innovator, a person with passion.
A quote:
Read, every day, something no one else is reading.
Think, every day, something no one else is thinking.
Do, every day, something no one else
would be silly enough to do.
It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
~Christopher Morley
**************
The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain.
~Colin Wilson
Don't be average, don't accept anyones miseries but especially what you perceive as your own. Stay strong in spirit and in mind think of possibilities not limitations.
Play Hard, Stay Foolish and Stay Hungry!

Smiles sent your way today and everyday!
Happy Monday everyone! : )
