Ever since my family immigrated to the United States from Israel in 1956, I have felt a great sense of patriotism for the country.

Whenever I visit Washington, D.C., I am always moved by the history and symbolism of the nation’s capitol. That was the case on a recent visit to the area as I conducted a number of seminars.

The Capitol Building is one of those historical sites that is grand and enduring. Situated on a slight elevation, the Capitol Building is one mile away from the Washington Monument and 2.2 miles from the Lincoln Memorial.

The significance of the Capitol Building is that in 1791 the United States had no capitol. At that time, Congress met in eight different cities throughout the Northeast.

It was decided that there should be a 10 mile square area, either out of Virginia or out of Maryland, that would end up being the Capitol of the United States of America.

The portion that was chosen was the 10 mile square area in Maryland and the Capitol Building was begun. It was built and then it was burned down. It was then re-built and enlarged.

The message from the U.S. Capitol Building, for you and me, is that on one side is the Senate and on the other side is the House of Representatives. It’s just like our minds. There are two portions to our minds – the positive and the negative.

And, if we don’t watch the balance between the two, the negative side will naturally have more power. Because, for whatever reason, it’s easier to be negative.

All of us, including me, have to work at balancing just like the Congress has to balance power in the nation’s Capitol. We have to balance between the negative and the positive sides of our minds.

It doesn’t mean we disregard whatever is not going well in our lives. It’s just a matter of re-focusing toward the positive.

So, if you look at something that didn’t work out right in your life, how about using a line that says, “That may be so, but here is what I can do about it.”

What I’m saying is let’s work with a positive affirmation every day so that we can balance and move toward the positive more than we do toward the negative. Just like balancing the house of power in Washington.

Focusing on the positive. Now that is a capitol idea!

Between recent speaking events in Delaware and Maryland, I took some time to stop by the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. The town of Annapolis, on Chesapeake Bay, is a quaint and beautiful community.

It is not only the State Capitol of Maryland, but also the home of the Naval Academy. Established in 1845, this is the second oldest military academy in the United States, only second after West Point.

I’ve known a number of people who attended Annapolis and established themselves with enviable records in the military.

One thing I learned from the graduates of Annapolis, as I’m sure is the case at other military academies, is that at Annapolis they teach discipline. Because, without discipline, you cannot have a military force and you cannot have order.

The same thing applies in our own personal lives. If we don’t have discipline, then our life is in disarray.

So, this message is about establishing some discipline in various areas of our lives.

If you don’t have enough discipline when it comes to money, something simple that you can do is lower your standard of living a little bit, save that money, and pay off some debts. Also, pay in cash. That establishes some discipline when it comes to money.

Concerning your health, I know that the cadets at Annapolis keep in great shape because they exercise regularly. I don’t like exercising any more than you do, but having had a heart condition in the past I realize that it’s important.

So, whether I like it or not, I do a treadmill two or three times a week for 30 minutes to keep in shape. That is my form of discipline when it comes to exercise.

If it’s discipline in your relationship that you need to improve, take the time to go out and spend special time on a regular basis with someone special in your life. Whether it’s Date Night or whatever you may choose to do regularly, establish some discipline and make that relationship important to you.

If it’s a career discipline you need to improve, then look at what you’re doing in your life and look for ways to improve wherever you are or look for other ways to establish a new career.

I believe that you’re now establishing some very important discipline in your life because you are special, you are unique, you are destined for greatness. I see it in you – you are a Champion!

Have a powerful day!
