One Man

​They say (and “they” seem to know stuff) that sleep is good for us, and the brain tends to process the events of the day.  I would not know really because I am asleep.  But I do know that after a good sleep I am refreshed.  I guess that ties in with what I saw on one site talking about with sleep refreshing me and recharging my battery.
Another thing I saw was that a good sleep increases brain power.  I will need to take their word for that one as in that case I should be a walking brain and I am not.  Still positive always does me more good than negative.
I said that because, I tend to wake up with something on my mind.  This morning it was a song (and often is).  It was not a song I picked out before I went to bed to wake up to.  In fact, it was not even one I had thought about.
Yet when such a thing happens, I like to consider it and to “milk it for all it is worth.”  But that may not be a good way of saying it.  I like to consider it and glean what I can out of it.  What the song or whatever it is is about, tend to be similar.  Mostly they are not about something that is completely out of left field.
This morning’s song was talking about a one-man renewal.
That is me.  I cannot control others and while I definitely want the best, I am responsible for me.  Hence the “one-man” seemed really appropriate.  I feel that the only way I can bring out the best in others is if I have first brought out the best in me.  I am no good to anyone if I am morose.  Then it is best for me if someone else is at their best and inspires me to better.
It may not be true in every situation, but I tend to think others miss out unnecessarily because I have not taken the time to be my best.  And although there has never been such a seemingly time poor generation time is what it takes.  One of the sites I looked at talked about sleep for kids and how it was like physical exercise in that it built up the brain power muscles.
I have found there is no short cut to fitness.  It is doing a bit every day.  Changes are imperceptible and generally noticed by another.  That to me is what I want.  Something that is perceptible to another and useful when needed.  When I start, that may be a dream, but time well spent makes it a reality.
It just seems to be the way it is.  Anything worthwhile takes time and I find it worth working at.  Even when I feel I don’t have time I will make time for what matters.
