Mind Over Mattress

in our covey training the past coupla days we learned that there are probably three or four really hard things we have to do every day--get out of bed, make it through work with a minimum of scuffles, go to the gym, etc.

anyway, our facilitator said something pretty interesting and that is, "life is going to jerk you around, every which way, every day." to illustrate his theory, he gently shook a can of coke from side-to-side. the trick, he said, "is not to end up like a pop can that is going to explode--to find something that will keep you from being overly carbonated."

so, it becomes an issue, much like the one we face every day when the alarm goes off--something they refer to as mind over mattress. if i ever figure it out, how it really works, i'll let you know.

in the meantime, if you ever watch any of the covey videos, be sure to notice how his clothes perfectly match the background. and that his ears are incredibly large. in fact, if you don't agree that covey is an alien, then you have bigger problems than mind over mattress. go kick some 7 habits y'all!
