But many of us live our lives by just seeing how it turns out. We would never just collect up some building materials and start putting them together and see how it turns out. But we do get up in morning, do whatever we are in habit of doing during day, and then go back to bed, and repeat process day after day. We build our lives by taking whatever comes to us each day, and putting it together to see what it turns out to be.

Consider how much more productive it would be if we didn't get up in morning until we had decided what we would build with our day. We would usually move ourselves a step closer to our goals each day, in spite of what day threw at us.

When we are born, we all start out exactly same, with essentially same potential. From then on we use that potential differently, and achieve different results. By understanding how and why we achieve different results, we can take control of our results from this day on, and change whole direction of our lives.

The 'Power of Mind' training gives a deeper understanding of how we can establish worthwhile and meaningful goals, and then move toward achieving them day by day.

The things that captivated you as a child were objects and ideas that triggered your sense of wonder. You noticed something new, and jumped right into Wow of Wonder. And there were plenty of things that elicited that response every single day.

A bug you'd never seen. A card trick. Something under a microscope. A new musical instrument. A dance move. A song. An animal. A poem. A historical fact. A new flavor of candy.

Mindfulness is a catalyst for wonder. You notice something. An idea is sparked. A distinction is made. A perspective shifts. There is a fullness in that moment, ripe with possibilities but unburdened by expectations.

The Wow of Wonder is what allows us to transcend what we "know" and float in that river of ideas without sinking under weight of evaluation. In our most mindful moments, it is wonder that saves us from overthinking and keeps things light.

There's no need to work at making mindfulness a part of your life. It's already there, and you can glimpse it in all of your favorite memories. Being right there in moment, full of wonder, and playing with discovery--this is you being a creative person!

Pay attention to your moments of fun, and you'll see that there's a hefty dose of mindfulness in there. You are smiling. You are fully present. You are creating ideas and responses. You feel alive.

Becoming mindful is simply getting reconnected to wonder about world and your place in it. Look for Wow of Wonder, and you'll find yourself immersed in mindfulness.

Isn't it wonder-ful?
