THOUGHT
FOR THE WEEK
"Many
of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success
when they gave up."

Decision
Making by Tahir Shah
Successful
people are great decision makers. It doesnt mean they always make the best
decisions but it does mean they are among the best. Poor decision making
skills ensure that people never realize the opportunities that life presents and
never climb the obstacles or hurdles that they face.
Most
of us think were good at making decisions until the pressure is on and were
faced with making one. Then we turn to everyone else hoping that someone will
make that decision for us. I see that happen with people from all walks of life
in every aspect of their lives letting others make decisions on their behalf
because theyre afraid to decide for themselves. Im going to give you
an insight so powerful that it will help you increase your decision making skills
instantly.
A
persons ability to make decisions is directly proportional to how much they
trust themselves - Tahir Shah
Read
that again. Think about it. The more you trust yourself, the better you will be
at making decisions. The less you trust yourself, the more you will look toward
others to make decisions for you.
The
Secret of Changing Our Negative Programming by Glen
Curry
Even
though we might not be head-over-heels in love with our lives and may in fact
desire to change some things, most people dont know what to do to make the
changes that would make a difference. One thing is sure; if we keep thinking what
weve always thought, well keep getting what weve always got.
Most
people don't have a clue how they got what they have in life. They are certain
that life happens to them because of random coincidences and happenstance.
They would never even imagine that they themselves created or attracted the lack,
struggle, and unhappiness they are experiencing by misusing and misapplying fixed
scientific laws. That's right! Abundance, blessings, and happiness occur where
the laws that govern these things are understood and applied. This means that
life doesn't happen to you; life happens because of you!
The
results you experience in life (good or bad) are determined by your understanding
and application of fixed scientific laws. Understand and master these laws
and learn to apply them correctly, and you are guaranteed to be happy and prosperous.
Each
year arthritis is estimated to cost $81 billion for medical costs and an additional
$47 billion in lost wages (in 2003 dollars).
Arthritis is responsible
for 750,000 hospitalizations and 36 million outpatient visits every year.
As
the U.S. population ages, arthritis-related costs are likely to soar.

COACHING
Preventing
Arthritis
Many
people think of arthritis as a nuisance that causes some pain and discomfort but
that can usually be eliminated with a pill or joint replacement and puts you right
back on track again. You'd be misguided if you think that way.
Arthritis
is a serious health condition, but can be treated or possibly prevented. Many
of the habits that are recommended for a healthy lifestyle play a role in preventing
some types of arthritis and related conditions. Some common tips for prevention
include:
Exercise
regularly to strengthen muscles around joints and help increase bone density.
Regular exercise is essential. It creates
stronger and more flexible joints. Exercise doesn't have to be strenuous. Just
regular.
Reduce repetitive
strain on muscles and joints. Be alert for any chronic aches and strains caused
by work, hobby, or recreation-related activities. Don't ignore the signs and wait
for them to worsen.
Eat
a healthy, well-balanced diet to help maintain your recommended weight. Women
who are overweight have a higher risk of developing osteoarthritis in the knees.
Talk
to your doctor about taking vitamin and mineral supplements. Having insufficient
levels of vitamin D decreases the amount of calcium your body can absorb. That
coupled with lower calcium levels as you age can help contribute to osteoporosis.
Practice
Core Training to reduce wear and tear on your joints, which can help prevent injury
and reduce the risk of osteoarthritis. Increased bone density also can help stave
off osteoporosis.
Avoid
smoking and limit your alcohol consumption to help avoid osteoporosis. Both habits
weaken the structure of bone, which puts you at higher risk for fractures.
Water
your joints. Water makes up 70 percent of the cartilage in joints and plays a
major role in the lubrication and shock absorbing properties of healthy joints.
Dehydration may be a major underlying, and unrecognized, factor in degeneration
and pain. Don't substitute sodas, coffee, and tea for water. These beverages contain
ingredients that may block the absorption of water or act like diuretics, that
is, promote excretion of fluids from the body. Drinks lots of good quality water
everyday.
MASTERQUOTES
Failure:
Your bestest friend
You
can't be beaten at anything, until you quit in your own mind. There is no failure
except in your not trying. Every instance of failure is indeed a form of education.
Failure
is part of the path to success. Consider yourself on a very long journey and failure
is just an obstacle to get round on the route to your ultimate destination. So,
failure is part of the process of learning anything.
Failure
is the best lesson toward success. Failure is not your enemy; he is your bestest
friend who is always trying to show how you can be a better person next time.
Failure is the only known method to clear up the uncertainties.
You
have no real insurmountable barrier except your own inherent weakness of purpose.
The odds are with you if you keep on trying. In the end, you can fail only if
you don't try. There is no defeat except from within.
If
your core is strong, your lower AB muscles will be drawn in towards the spine
and help you sit up straight. In essence, core training is an intelligent training
structure, because it strengthens weak muscles and imbalances from the inside
out.
Core
Training will improve your posture - tone your torso and abs and keep your lower
back healthy.
The
Success Mindset
The
Obstacle in Our Path
In
ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and
watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest
merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed
the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting
the big stone out of the way.
Then a
peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder,
the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the
road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked
up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder
had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating
that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The
peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an
opportunity to improve one's condition.
