January 10, 2008: Thoughts for the day
Those of you that have seen my posts on the forum should know I believe that one main ingredient in Wisdom is "Learning How to Master yourself", the following quote from (Jim Rohn) is EXCELLENT:
Emotions will either Serve or Master, depending on who is in Charge
WHO is in charge brotha and sista's?!
Do EMOTIONS Serve YOU or do they Master you?

"No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings."
Body weight is maintaining, body fat is dropping. Things are going well.
Pics to follow in short while. So be looking! They are forth coming! HEHEHE
I keep on smoken! YES!.........
Decided to break my personal record in cardio today. I did two sessions before work. One at 25M and another at 30m (5.6 intensity, 17mph). I plan to do two more after work, to accomplish in breaking my personal record. And, this is a guy that HATES cardio brotha and sista's! Its also a weight training day. Therefore my calorie intake will be higher than normal while still maintaining my deficit balance. No need at the present to alter the diet, body fat is dropping without much of a problem at the moment. This surprises me, but I will take it as I really dont want to go into a low-carb diet--unless it proves necessary. I like my carbs! But, will adjust by lowering them if I cant get below 8%. Thus far its GREAT!

One man's creativity is another's brain damage

Let us CHILL in taking a look at one interpretation:
If you accept someone else's idea of reality and personal limits, you'll have no control over your own destiny. You can only go as far as that view will let you. Do you normally accept things as they are, or do you ask "why" and "what if"? Being an individual and thinking for yourself even while others are calling you crazy takes courage. For many, trying a new perspective is scary. But if we always stick to the familiar, the known, we never grow and learn. Don't be afraid to go against the grain. Ask the tough questions that everyone else is afraid to ask. Try a new way to do the same thing just to see what happens -- we guarantee you that the world won't end. You'll see solutions that nobody else would see if they're all looking at a problem the same way. Practice new ways to combine unrelated objects.
After all, somebody had to try peanut butter and jelly for the first time. I am glad they did, HEHEHEHE.

What is one way to interpret this? Let's Chill and find out:
Proper nutrition can be a foundation for healthy living. Take a second and compare your body to a car. Your car needs the right amount of gas and periodic tune-ups to make it run smoothly. Your body needs healthy food and periodic check-ups too. Make a goal to start treating your body the right way. Take care of yourself. Eat the right foods and make sure you get to the doctor for regular check-ups. If you start maintaining and tracking your progress, you will probably see dramatic positive results
==========================================================
Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today
What is one way to interpret this? Let's Chill and find out:
Bad days are bound to happen to everyone. You could be having the best week of your life, only to have some calamity smack you right in the forehead. But is this the end-all and be-all? Probably not. If you wake up the next day and the sun has risen, chances are you will be just fine. Work to fix whatever problems you may have encountered, but don’t let them take a central role in your life. Do whatever it takes to resolve the issue and move on. Maybe that means not being too proud to apologize, or maybe even humble enough to accept an apology. You can make it work. Each day is a new opportunity; make as much use of it as you can.
==========================================================
When you stand still, you reject the struggle, and you refuse to change and grow. Ultimately, you reject fulfillment, happiness, the dance for joy and everything else that is eternally good.

What is one way to interpret this? Let's Chill and find out:
Action is the only way anything ever gets done. Sitting around and waiting for life to happen to you will only guarantee one thing: that you’re not going to end up with a life you love. By waiting, you can react to what’s tossed your way and nothing more. It’s easy to take a passive approach to life without taking chances. It’s easy to fall into a rut and do the same things the same way all the time. Change is what’s hard, but it’s change that will reveal all the wonders that life has to offer. You can break out of your set ways by taking action. Try doing the same thing a different way. Jump in with both feet and learn something new. Ask a friend to teach you a skill they’re good at. Grow as a person and your world grows with you.

If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?
(Unknown)
What is one way to interpret this? Let's Chill and find out:
Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone is capable of doing something immensely stupid. (Some of us may feel more “capable” than others.) But everyone is also capable of learning from their blunders and making a fresh start. Yes, even the most thick-headed person has hope. Have you ever bungled something so bad that you actually felt ashamed? You might still wish that you could have that moment back to do things differently. We all have those moments. And even the smallest mistakes can be upsetting. There is a way to recover. It takes learning and it takes smarts. If you use that error to make your future better, you just got a little smarter. So you might say that part of your intelligence and success comes from stupidity. Just don’t be stupid in the same way twice.
==========================================================
You've got to think about 'big things' while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.
(Alvin Toffler)
Let Chillen Chill you with an option on how to view this:
Do you ever think about your “big picture” goal? Are your small daily tasks helping you get there? It is important to know what you want to accomplish and to periodically check to make sure that your daily actions are helping you reach success. Goal setting is an important part of being a great leader. You must learn how to set a long-term goal and break it down into medium and short-term goals. Once you start breaking things down into manageable daily actions, your big goal becomes easier to achieve.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

I used to say, 'I sure hope things will change.' Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change.
--Jim Rohn
If you care at all you will get some results. If you care enough you will get incredible results!
--Jim Rohn
If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.
--Jim Rohn
==========================================================
I leave you with this thought:
The best motivation is self-motivation. One person says, "I wish someone would come by and turn me on!"
What if they don't show up?
===========================================================
I hope this day finds you all well. I wish you all much happiness and joy. May no bad luck or mishaps enter your life. I wish that your internal spirt will rise up and meet and exceed all of your personal expectations and aspirations you want and desire.
I wish you the absolute best in life,
Chillen
