Hein's Thoughts

What if I wrote a thousand (or ten thousand) words a day?  What would I become?  Who would I inspire?  How would that impact my family?    What if I walked three miles a day?  What would I become?  Who would I inspire?  How would that impact my family?    Tony Robbins said that the questions we ask ourselves are important.  They focus our minds.  What would happen if we asked ourselves questions like those above?  Our minds are like machines, searching for answers.  If we supply our minds with inspiring questions, we get more than inspiring answers.  We get a constant process of searching for positivity.

Anyway, today I woke up with energy and optimism.  Maybe a short term "manic" phase which I can take advantage of.  I was thinking that I should write about the things/projects that I can...
