THE GLASS IS ALWAYS HALF FULL

We cannot have success without failures. Light cannot exist without darkness. We cannot have happiness without sorrows, one is meaningless without the other. Any experience, good or bad, can be transformed into something of value. Everything depends on the way you look at things. There is a good side to every situation, under any circumstance. Here is a good story:

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.

A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.

The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.

Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats average $100.

We have the power to focus on anything we want and if we get into the habit of noticing the beauty and wonder that surrounds us, then our moods will match those things we focus on and we will be able to attract abundance because we will be in the perfect vibration for it, a positive one.

In every circumstance there is a lesson showing us how to be better the next time. When it's dark enough we can see the stars.

Lead by example - The lives we live are the lives we create. You can be confident in the way you look, the way you feel, and the way you live. Your body naturally wants to be thin. How you think defines what you are. Each day you have the chance to "think fit and be fit". What goes in your head is usually responsible for what you create in your life.

So, to make a change, you must coach and motivate your mind to begin thinking differently. Tell your mind that you deserve to be lean, strong, happy and prosperous.

Sometimes we need to make a quick decision. We can't wait too long; we need the answer now. When you need to make a decision in a hurry, make sure you rely on Best Practices together with your intuition.

Best Practices are a management idea which asserts that there is a technique, method, process, activity, incentive or reward that is more effective at delivering a particular outcome than any other technique, method, process, etc.

With proper processes, checks, and testing, a desired outcome can be delivered with fewer problems or mistakes. This is precisely what we want you to accomplish through The Core Challenge.

What Science Reveals About Health & Fitness

Drink water to lose weight and prevent cancer - Drinking water helps you control hunger. Drink a large glass of cold water 30 minutes before meals. The cold causes your stomach to shrink somewhat, which will make you feel full more rapidly. Water helps to maintain healthy body weight by increasing metabolism and regulating appetite.

Drinking a glass of water before you eat and making sure you are not too full to drink a glass of water after your meal, is the most effective way to lose weight naturally. Water also leads to increased energy levels and the most common cause of daytime fatigue is actually mild dehydration. Drinking adequate amounts of water can decrease the risk of certain types of cancers, including colon and bladder cancer.
