When we do…

Things that are bad – people gossip.

When we do things that are so so – no one notices.

When we do things that are good – people notice.

When we do things that are great – there is word of mouth.

When we are the “best in show” – people brag, and want to be a part of us.

My youngest boy…

Sam is a giver. Always wanting to help you in any way he can.
So the other day, he said, “Dad, I have a couple of thoughts for your blog”:
“Smiles go for miles”.
“Dont shurk work”.
That’s my boy!

The clock keeps ticking…

Regardless, if we are asleep or awake.

And many of us worry that we are racing against the clock.

We’re not advising that we waste time, or think that we have unlimited time in our lives to what we want. We are just saying that we need not worry about time, and the clock ticking, when it comes to things that really matter in our lives.

Take the time for the important things, for we are trading our time for importance, which always has the best outcome.

The only thing we need to worry about is when the clock stops.

Life doesn’t get much better!

Sure we have our ups and downs, ins and outs, ahead and behind, we can go on and on, it’s just called balance, everything in life has balance.

We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, plants do the opposite.

The tide rises and then retreats, there is day and then night.

So what’s the big deal about setbacks?? They’re only balanced by comebacks.

And challenges…love ’em, they are just balanced by opportunities.

WOW, what a world we live in…it doesn’t get much better than that.

5 Keys to Reduce Stress

1. Breathe – When we are stressed, our back muscles tighten up in response, not allowing for full expansion of the rib cage, so unless we consciously think about taking some deep breathes from time to time,  we are starving our body of oxygen, continuing the process.

2. Exercise – This let’s us get out of our “heads” for a while, cutting thee stress cycle and getting the body to move like it is supposed to.

3. Relax – Since stress constricts the whole body, including the muscles and the organs, taking “time out” just to relax, does wonders to get the body flowing once again.

4. Turn off electrical devices – In these days of being “connected”, it is important to “disconnect” occasionally, and just “be”…and turn our focus on what really matters.

5. Reduce your load – Being stressed, has a common denominator of being not in control or being overloaded. So reduce your load for a while – and trust that it will still be there, once you are less stressed and more refreshed.

Recently, I have talked with…

Many that want to have passive income, instead of trading their time for money.

Good idea, but their plan is not to create it, just to have it happen.

Maybe they should focus on creating something that would generate passive income as a result of their hard work.

From every harvest…first comes planting, cultivation and time.
