“Ignoring your passion is like dying a slow death…Passion whispers to you through your feelings, beckoning you toward your highest good. Pay attention to what makes you feel energized, connected, stimulated- what gives you your juice. Do what you love, give it back in the form of service, and you will do more than succeed. You will triumph.” ~Oprah Winfrey

By Daily Dose Fight to be happy. Fight to be strong. Fight to be who the person you know you can be. Fight for what you know is right. Fight for you. Fight for those around you not with them. Continue to fight until the world realizes what it’s up against. Even then, don’t stop. Never stop. You have a right to be here, to make a difference. Don’t hold back. Go get them.

Complaining is just a way of not taking responsibility...

"Refuse to complain. Complaining is just a way of not taking responsibility, justifying doing nothing, and programming yourself to fail. Complaining creates the illusion that you have done something. Instead, pour your energy into improving your situation. When you find ways to be productive and maintain a sense of optimism, you demonstrate that you are in control of your own life.

Complainers focus on what has happened, and give up their power. Winners focus on making things happen, and using their power to find solutions to their challenges. You were born to create something magnificent with your life!! Solution-based thinking gives you that power. You deserve!!" ~ Les Brown

There are two kinds of happiness...

There are two kinds of happiness - the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that results from the thorough transformation and development of the mind. We can see in our own lives that the latter form of happiness is superior because when our mental state is calm and happy, we can easily put up with minor pains and physical discomforts. On the other hand, when our mind is restless and upset, the most comfortable physical facilities do not make us happy.

Mayonnaise Jar Lesson

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the two beers.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class

began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full… The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’

The professor then produced two beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else—the small stuff.’

‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.’

‘If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.’

‘Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.’

‘Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.’

‘Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked. The beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of beers with a friend.’

"The Physics of the Quest."

In the end, I've come to believe in something I call "The Physics of the Quest." A force in nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity. The rule of Quest Physics goes something like this: If you're brave enough to leave behind e
verything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you."~ Julie Roberts/EAT LOVE PRAY

"Life is not perfection; it is growth. And, growth comes from pushing through the challenges and obstacles that are before us to attain the next level.

UPW Tip of the Day:

Once you manage your psychology, what strategies must you adopt to follow through? When your base becomes stronger and more powerful, there is less opportunity for your challenges to overcome you and halt your progress, success, and fulfillment.

Love Actually movie quote~ 


“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think

about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General 



opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of

hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that

love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or

newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons,

mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends,

girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin

Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the

people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they

were all messages of love.

"Time management is really life management, personal management."~

"Time management is really life management, personal management. It is taking control of the sequence of events. Time management is having control over what you do next. And you are always free to choose what you will do next. Your ability to choose between the important and the unimportant is the key determinant of your success in life and your business. Effective, productive people discipline themselves to start on the most important task that is before them.. As a result, they accomplish vastly more than the average person and are much happier as a result."

You only have control over three things in your life!


According to Canfield “You only have control over three things in your life — the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take (your behavior). How you use these three things determines everything you experience.” Why not take that advice, think positively, and try some of the above tips. They can all contribute to improving yourself and your career. At the very least, they can be interesting to try if you haven’t already!

PROTEIN...

Protein is very important part of your diet . It is generally agreed that you need around 0.4grams of protein per pound of body weight, so if you weigh 180 pounds then you need about 72 grams of protein a day . Whey protein is a good source of lean protein, 1 scoop typically contains about 20 grams of protein. One average sized chicken breast also contains about 20 grams of protein. You can get alot of your protein from a well balanced diet, foods high in protein include Meats , Eggs , fish, milk , nuts , beans & lentils.
It has been scientifically proven that the body actually burns more calories digesting protein . That protein builds lean muscle and in turn larger muscles increase metabolism and burn more fat. Protein is the building blocks of all muscle and also also aids the metabolism in the burning of fat stored inside the muscles .

Wednesday thought and reflection of the DAY!

By Jillian Michaels
Tip for the day: STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP. Give yourself a break will you. All masters started out as students. You can’t be amazing at something over night. It takes time and patience. The same goes for exercise. Don’t have unrealistic expectations from yourself like running 3 miles next week. Instead, take the time to learn the basics: Proper form for each exercise, build muscle memory, build up your endurance and cardiovascular strength. Remember, Rome was not built in a day and neither is a healthy body.

“Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.” - Norman Vincent Peale

~TAKE A POWER NAP~

TAKE A POWER NAP

Stop running yourself ragged. It will not do you any good if you are always tired. You'll start to lose focus on things. You will start to get irritated easily. You will also find yourself taking things out on the people who are close to you and if you let this continue it will effect how you interact with people and any negativity that people feel will make them feel uncomfortable.

All of this can and will happen when you don't get your proper rest. Even if all you have is time for a power nap, rest will bring rejuvenation, relaxation, a more positive attitude and an all around new, refresher you.

EXCUSES * EXCUSES * EXCUSES

Day in and day out, week in and week out, month in and month out you keep doing everything except what you need to be doing. You need to write that book, start that business, clean that office, make those phone calls and put things in order. When you first said it, it was ok, then after the 2nd, 3rd and 4th time it started to turn into excuses.

You know you have the power and the ability to get it done. Stop talking yourself out of doing it. Stop saying it's too hard, it will take too long or I don't have enough resources.

Enlightenment!

There are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous. (quoted by Carol Lynn Pearson in Consider the Butterfly)”
― Deepak Chopra, Synchrodestiny

Opportunity!

“When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.” – Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics

Brainstorming Power-Exercises!

5 brainstorming power-exercises you can do in 15 minutes:
  1. Freewriting: Have a general idea or topic in mind. Then set the clock and write anything that comes to mind. No matter where your idea goes, keep writing without stopping to review what you wrote. This technique will help you unlock any article ideas you have locked in your brain.
     
  2. Recall: After you’ve finished reading something (e.g. an article, book, etc.) set your stopwatch and begin writing everything you can remember about it. Any impressions? How do you think the topic impacts your niche? This technique helps build your authority by gathering new information and sharing originality.
     
  3. Bounce: Whether it’s a peer, a friend, or family member, talk to someone! Discuss your ideas or a new trend in your niche. This technique helps you get feedback on your idea, gives you another perspective, and allows your original idea to evolve.
     
  4. Lists: Pick a topic and begin creating a list of all the attributes of that topic. To give your list more direction, attempt to continue narrowing each topic into a more specific topic or list elements that are related to that topic. For example: Fruit, Apples, Seeds, Water, Fructose, Cross-Pollination, Photosynthesis, etc. This technique helps you create articles that are more focused and consider areas that are often left untouched by other Expert Authors in your niche.
     
  5. Impact: Consider your topic using an “impact” lens or the effect your topic has on you and your readers. Ask yourself: how does your topic impact you, your niche, your community, or society at large? This technique helps you consider your topic from another perspective, as well as creates a point-of-entry or orientation for readers.
Try out one or all of the above 15-minute brainstorming power-exercises to unlock your original ideas and provide quality articles readers crave. Doing so will not only make your writing sessions easier and more fruitful, it will help you increase your exposure and your credibility.
