An Apple A Day Keeps the Doctor Away, What if that's True?

How much time do you think you have? I ask this because we tend to think that we have all the time in the world.  Then as you view the pic to the left of these words we see a soul transitioned that we thought had an unlimited amount of time.  He thought he had so much time that at the age of 57 with all of his worldly goods he (allegedly) had no will prepared for those he would leave behind.   One of my mentors who I adore, the late, Jim Rohn often said , " An apple a day keeps the doctor away. What if that's true?" What if it is true and we never ate an apple, which is something we could easily do?  What if those who ate apples daily never get poor health?    Use this same analogy for walking daily.  What if you went for a walk daily just up and down the street you live on for a mile or two?  What if that kept your blood pressure at the optimal rate?  What if that kept your blood sugar levels low regardless of the amo...

T.G.I.F.

Good afternoon, Today is the last day of May. Tomorrow is Day one of the mid-year point in our conventional calender. Today is a perfect day to assess how much progress have you actually made since the beginning of the year and how much more can you get done before December 31,2013. Happy Friday or as most say "thank God it's Friday." Well if you are still in the game of life then this is a great day no matter what day it is. However I do want you to work diligently during your weekends and your weekdays. This is very important now more than ever. The summer season brings the opportunity to have a lot more fun outdoors since the weather is agreeable; but like Jim Rohn says," Don't get faked out, by the warm weather and the sun." Think like the ant or the farmer. The ant thinks winter all summer. He knows that this great weather gives him the opportunity to gather and store for the up coming fall/winter season. The farmer knows that he can...

I Was Here or Were you?

Buy the book here!! When I heard the song, "I Was Here," on Beyonce's CD 2 years ago, I immediately felt resonance with it. If you listened to it and it doesn't move you to tears, you may need to evaluate are you here? One reason it moves me is that this is a statement of being. We are here and then we are not. The dash in our eulogy is very small, I mean like sunrise 1900-2005 sunset, the space, the little dash is our life span. It's amazing that we think there is an infinite amount of time when the truth is there is very little time or the dash could be ----------------- longer. I gave the person in this example 105 years of life between the dash, but the average person lives to about 75. What are you doing with the dash? Are you taking it for granted that it is infinite? Do you know when it is over? What is your "Why" for existing? Do others know what it is? Are you just trudging along hoping things will get better or are you plann...
