Getting The Right Nutrition Daily!

Getting the right nutrition daily can reduce our risk of cancer, strokes, heart disease & illness. "Scientist has found some relationship between a lack of certain vitamins-A and C-and cancer. For example, diets low in vitamin A has been linked to cancers of the prostate gland, cervix, skin, bladder and colon." - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

There are more than 200 different types of cancer & in some cases causes are still not known. Because of land, air & water pollution and the way our foods are grown, genetically or chemically altered, we have no way of knowing how nutritious those foods really are unless we grow it ourselves. And now in this present day with our busy lifestyles it is almost impossible to grow our own fresh produce and look after it for optimal nutrition.

"What can I think and do today that I have been too scared to even consider before?"

"Hey... you can do anything you want to do in your life if you'll enjoy right now for what you can, look forward with expectancy, use the gifts and tools you've been given and accept whatever bad cards you've been dealt.  It's up to you to play them right." - Mike Brescia from ThinkRightNow! International

Being Grateful for Much!

One thing is for sure, although we are surrounded by bad things happening each & every day, also knowing that it is the world we are living in but even the stuff that challenge my family & I directly, I have to stay grateful for much. Not only because of knowing "What you think about expands" but also because of having so much more to be grateful for, things that many others don't even have.

Things like:

• my health
• my children
• the ability to share
• being able to work
• eat & drink every day
• having both arms, legs & feet
• the ability to use my free time (believe me I got a lot of it) to help others

I know there are BIG influences on how people manage to live their lives today. Many being unhealthy or steering toward being obese, being unproductive and living with  sickness or disease. Living with fear & anxiousness about tomorrow or living in poverty, therefore ending up being unsuccessful & unhappy. The worst is trying to escape from these realities by over-eating, taking drugs, or drinking alcohol or other addictive habits like stealing to make up for the things that you don't have but in the end it only make matters worst.

When the heart is full of good stuff, so is your life!

Did you know? - "Cool Facts"

"Your eyes feed your mind and your mind feeds your heart"

&

"What you think about expands" 

Tip - So if you want your heart to make the intelligent decision for you, you have to feed it the good stuff & stay totally focus on one purpose!

Remember, you are the captain of your own ship. You choose what you want to feed your mind with, your body with & your heart with; it is only you. So whatever you feed your mind with it will grow, whether positive or negative it works exactly the same way. When your heart is full of good stuff, so is your life! 

Taking those few first steps!

“In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.”

—	Robert T. Kiyosaki, Rich dad, Poor Dad

Definitely nothing wrong with making mistakes. That is what live teaches… you fall down & you get up, each time just a little stronger & wiser. Even if you take 20 shots at it today & you failed 20 times at least you learn from all of them. Even if you have to start over again, completely, at least you will be growing!

You only live once in this life! Take your shots today, you are worth taking them all, no body else can take it for you or learn for you. Don’t be scared or shy, it is your time;… just think how you would feel when you got it done or got it right!

Think of it this way; have you ever seen the face of a baby who is learning to walk?... when he takes those first few steps, smiling, laughing, it is pure joy, pure excitement! Nothing is better than that moment!

Now, that is you… You can do it!.., but you must begin at once; there is never a better moment than now! Takes those few first steps toward what ever it is that you want to achieve or do or change & remember: We are here to help; help to get you up so that you can keep on pushing forward and making great strides each time!

Taking those few first steps,... how about doing it in the right direction, or even sharing it with others who also need a helping hand to get up! Grow & Development Together!

Sadly... No person can promise you the stars & the moon

Do yourself a favour and remember those words! Remember them because you can save yourself allot of heartache and disappointment. You are still in-charge of your own ship’s sailing or sinking!... and No one said that it is going to be smooth sailing! Who wants smooth sailing all the time, not me... I get too bored! But I wouldn’t like to be caught in a storm that can cost me my live!

It is the choices a person make in life that determine that today’s sailing is going to be smooth or thunder and rain storms. Sometimes the rain storms & thunder is necessary, they do get us closer or further away from our destination….but we still learn from them. You learn that next time you will go a different route or wait until the worse is over, or get some advice…which ever way... You Can reach your destination / goal and do it more safely and with less trouble!

Don't listen to the wrong advice. If someone that has never sailed ever tells you that the weather is going to be sunny and peaceful all day at sea and you listened, only to find yourself in most disturbing weather at sea ever, almost sinking your ship,… well I would say you listened to the wrong person!

But if someone that sets sail every single day tells you that today is going to smooth sailing all day, I would rather listen to him/her because it would make sense. The same, if the person with all that experience warns you and tells you don’t go out because there is a bad storm coming… I would definitely stop to listen and make a more firm decisions from there.

It’s still your decision whether you go out or not and where it is that you are going, you set the route... No one else!...but it is nice to have a helping hand from someone that has been there in the same situation. It is not always nice to sink your ship, but if someone that has been there gives me some advice, I am going to listen.

Don’t let any person make a promise that Only you can keep or fulfil. You are still the Captain of your own Ship! J

I cant promise the stars & the moon but I can and want to help make the sailing smoother or better! … So sail over to my harbour and hook your ship onto my deck and take a walk over to my All New Web-Site for happier sailing! J

Sometimes Bad Things Happen... I know, but you can Still Live!

I pray everyday and thank God for ALL which I am thankful for. Even if I spend a half an hour talking to Him and thanking Him for being there for me and my family :) ....and being my friend, a friend that helps and reminds me that I still have lots to be happy about and thankful for! :) I couldn't get through these difficult and challenging times without Him!

You know that saying: "Ask and you will receive" well you gotta show Him too. It is only you that can show Him; asking and telling is one thing but you have to also show which way you 'want' to go. Its all You!
The asking and showing must coincide. I know it is difficult, I am still a student myself, maybe always will be.

Sometimes I fall off the rail and then I cant show Him what I want, but by remembering that He is there for me even though I fell off the rail picks me up and makes me stronger then before. Sometimes making mistakes is very costly, it would seem learning from other people mistakes is less costly.

Life is a gamble! - Tales you Win, Head you Win - It is about making the right choices that works for you!
"He" puts people in our paths to lean on and to learn from, that can inspire and motivate us! So today I also want to share with you someone very dear to me, who has helped me to stay this positive despite all the challenges.
His name is Mike Brescia - Author of "Today is Your Day to Win!" "Because no matter who you are, where you are from and no matter what has ever happened to you, every day can be your day to win."

It is because of a lifetime of good habits....

Continue from the 3rd of November: Why do most successful people always manage to get up after being knocked down & carry on...?

It is because of a lifetime of good habits, beliefs and attitudes. They have been trained to respond positively which makes it easier to duck and dive the curve balls life throws at them. When something occurs which is totally out of their control they are able to get up again quickly due to their positive thought pattern.

Here is quick example:

It is now almost a year since I had my stroke. If someone told me that it is going be so freakin hard I would have rather taken the other way out; if you know what I mean! :( I am tired of always crying and being frustrated because I can’t talk properly, can’t walk properly and my right hand is never going to come right. I have nothing, no job, no savings or income, no house, no car and 3 children and a baby to look after. Sometimes I wish I was dead! :( I am just tired…

Notice how negative that sounds compared to this:

It is now almost a year back when I had my stroke and I have made so much progress! I am happy to be alive! :) To spend time with my 3 beautiful children and my new baby; I have the time to write my book as I always wanted too! I have the energy to live healthy, happy and a productive life and share it with others to do the same. Life IS great! And a little hard work goes a long way... :)

This positive response has a healthy effect on me; body mind and soul. It leaves me with healthy decisions for good habits which in turn help me cope or manage the stress of life pretty well; better that I thought I would! :) All my obstacles or challenges are easier to over come due to a positive thought habit.

Research shows that the average person has over 75% negative thoughts per day. That is 1 positive thought for every 3-4 negative thoughts. No wonder when a person hits rock bottom it seems like there is nothing you can do and this ways depression can last a lifetime ending up controlling your life.

Remember: Staying motivated and positive is the easiest place to start. It is easy to adapt, easy to do but it is also easy to loose. That is why staying positive is a daily task which should be done every single day otherwise it wears off…. easy! Take small steps and remind your self to change the way you think.

You know what, CHANGE – Is a never ending story, some days are harder that others but Never give up! – Life teaches you that; you fall down and you get up but each time just a little stronger and wiser!

Just me talking to you tells me that I am on the right track for a better life.

Here is 2 U from me until next time! J

How do we cope? When is enough, enough?

Ever wondered why life doesn't quite turn out as we expect or wanted it too or things happen that we have no control over? The struggling becomes overwhelming & depression kicks in. We become less productive, small tasks seems too huge to tackle & the huge ones seems completely impossible. You feel like you are going downwards and there is nothing that you can do....you try and get up but you keep falling down, what makes it even worse is that you don't even have the right support.
Is it not time to start looking after our selves because before we know it is too late or we are sitting with mental or physical problems. Stress can kill!!!
Why do most successful people always manage to get up after being knocked down & carry on...?
