1. Great video clip I watched this week… Dr. Zach Bush is one of my all-time favorite experts/people/speakers. He is a triple-board-certified M.D. with a very unique and special background. He speaks very eloquently, scientifically, and everything he says can be fact-checked. I LOVE what he has to say in this Instagram post… and don’t…
I’m sure you have seen the videos online where they show an expert performing some type of activity, and the caption says, “What you think you look like.” Then they show a person performing that same activity, but failing miserably, and that caption says, “What you ACTUALLY look like.” It is pretty amusing, but unfortunately…
1. Great Instagram post I saw this week… Below is an Instagram post (from Farmer’s Footprint) that highlights the INCREDIBLE HEALING POWER of nature. We underappreciate and underutilize the natural, free, and powerful environment around us. Take a moment to read these scientific findings related to birdsong, green spaces, aquatic environments, earthing (a.k.a. grounding), sunlight,…
I have a very large oak tree in my yard. I often think of the fact that this enormous tree was once just an acorn. It’s mind-blowing to think that each tiny acorn that gets dropped from this tree has within it the potential to become a large, mature oak tree. I have always been…
1. Word I Love… One of my all-time favorite words is potential. As humans, we are given gifts, skills, and talents that often lie dormant within us. Imagine for just a moment what you are REALLY capable of in this life. How much more can you do? How many people can you help? What kind…
To prioritize is to “determine the order for dealing with (a series of items or tasks) according to their relative importance.” Notice the words relative importance. We tend to focus on and spend time and energy on, what is important. Important according to whom? Each one of us! This is why our days look so…
1. Olympic highlights that have caught my attention… I have not been able to watch as much of the Olympics as I would have liked, but love seeing the highlights. The stats, pics, and video clips have been AWESOME! I recommend Googling “best pics from Paris Olympics” for some very cool pics. I posted my…
Imagine a giraffe asking another giraffe if it needs to eat plants or meat. Or a tiger asking another tiger if it needs to sleep eighteen hours per day or four hours per day. Or a dog asking another dog if it should get up and go for walks or just lay around all day…
1. Poem I love… I realized early on in life that a key trait that differentiates those who succeed from those who fail is the act of refusing to quit. I had a copy of the poem Don’t Quit (by Edgar A. Guest) above my bed and/or desk through most of high school and college.…
Persistence is a great human quality that allows average people to do great things. It is often the person that sticks it out that achieves big things. When your body tries to tell you that you’ve got nothing left, it’s the strong mind that can push on. We recently visited The National WWII Museum in…
