Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 's Daily Message MondayAugust 14, 2006PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS I was looking through a box of old photos over the weekend, and I found a picture of me posing with the famous sculpture, "The Thinker" by Rodin. This picture was taken in 1969 when I was attending college in Europe. Oh, I think you know the piece I`m talking about. It`s this very muscular and very naked man sitting down thinking. He`s got his elbow on his knee, and his chin is resting on his fist. It is truly magnificent! I remember the day I saw him, and all I could think about was, "What was he thinking about?" Rodin used live models that posed for him while his hands touched the clay. That means that that very muscular and very naked man sat there posing a thought for a few days or maybe even a week! That man had a lot of time to just sit there and think. Are you a thinker, too? When you do your morning walks, tell me what you think about. When you`re at a red light all alone in your car, what do you think about? When you`re taking a shower and you`re all soaped up from head to toe ring, what thoughts are going through your mind? And as your head is resting on the pillow and your eyes are closed, what are your last thoughts? Do you let your thoughts wander in the forest of negativity? Are you thinking about things that make you sad and low? That`s no good! Those kinds of thoughts will lead you to being depressed, and when you`re depressed, your life shuts down. You have so many positive thoughts swimming in your mind, why not think about them? When your mind is thinking pleasant thoughts, your body knows it! You should be thinking about all the areas of your life that are working, and you should think proudly! You should also be thinking about your future and how bright it will be if you make the best of each present day! Think about this. Today is Monday. Let this day be your diving board as you dive into a healthy week! Think about what you`re going to feast on and what workouts you`ll be doing. Just know I`m thinking of YOU!
