Being Lazy is Bad and Stupid, Unless Your Broke!
That has got be my all time favorite funny motivational videos from my mentor Jim Rohn. He talks a lot about success and what it takes to become one.
I started listening to Jim when I found out he coached one of my other mentors, Anthony Robbins back when I started setting serious goals in 1990. After almost 20 years of setting and achieving goals I’ve boiled it down to two main ingredients.
One is you must believe that you can achieve the goal and that you deserve to achieve it. This will require a positive mental attitude even when you become discouraged to maintain the steam or desire to follow through to completion of said goal.
And the second is the mental focus and discipline required for you to take the actions you must take when striving toward the desired goals through whatever obstacles you encounter along your way.
You may think this is really easy to do, but what if one of the “biggies” comes up in your life and it really lays you on the floor, in the basement, beneath a table and wrapped in a soggy blanket of depression to the point it’s really hard to move.
Don’t want to answer the phone, see anyone, do anything kind of funk? This can be bad, but not nearly as bad if your health is poor.
Part of learning to deal with set backs and challenges is learning to play the cards your dealt the best way possible while maintaining your health so when a break comes, your ready to move on it!
Eating well and getting rest is an absolute must. All the typical thoughts for you come to mind regarding foods you eat by eating several small, protein rich, fat balanced, non-processed carb whole food meals each day.
You must get 7-9 hours of sleep to heal the body from any stressors that occur during each day’s physical and emotional challenges.
You must keep the mind clear of any additional negative bombardment from external sources like the media news machine or negative people. Extra time TV wasting must go. Try reading a good book instead and working on learning some new skills that will move you to a better place professionally. This always has a nice effect on income which can definitely enhance happiness and improve your overall mood.
In his book “Conquering Depression & Anxiety through Exercise” by Dr. Keith Johnsgard , he states the positive effects of exercise on mood and emotional states to be a huge benefit by increasing the endorphins associated with a positive mental state of mind. The increased oxygen flow created by a workout will boost confidence and positive state of mind almost immediately following an exercise session.
When In doubt about the cards you’ve been dealt, play them better by staying healthy and fit! Stay Ready, so you don’t have to get ready!

Weight Loss Programs - Finding A Weight Loss Program That Works
I'd like to give a personal recommendation of a good friend I've had a chance to meet in the later part of 2008. We met at a conference and I thought Vinny reminded me of me about 20 something years ago( no wise cracks from the peanut gallery!) any ways....Vinny's programs are pretty tight and he's become a pretty good product developer. Take a look at his article below , I think you'll like it.
------------------------
------------------------
If you're currently on the search for weight loss programs, you'll need to consider a variety of things. All weight loss programs are not created equally; some will have a much higher rate of success than others.
Knowing exactly what to look for when searching for weight loss exercise programs will help enable you to make a decision that will get you the results you're looking for.
First, if you're like many people, you probably want a free weight loss program. The thing to keep in mind though is that these are free for a reason. They are targeted towards the general public and as such, give such broad suggestions that while it may work for one person, it will not work for you. For example, if you are a 200 pound man and the free weight loss programs you are finding are more geared towards a 140 pound woman; you can see why this would obviously be problematic.
The first thing to ask yourself when you see a weight loss diet program is how personalized is it. I'm sure you've heard the saying that "General programs produce general results," which is very true. The more personalized and targeted the solution is to your individual situation, the higher your chance of consistent weight loss.
Next, ask whether it allows for enough calories to keep you from completely starving. While it may be tempting to try a very low calorie approach to get the weight loss process over and done with, usually these end up backfiring on you, leaving you gaining more weight back after you go off them than you had when you first started. Your goal is to burn the fat, not starve the fat and the majority of weight loss programs force your metabolism to shut down which leads to muscle loss - a doubled edged sword contributing to greater fat storage on your body.
Another component that you'll want to factor in is exercise. A good weight loss exercise program will combine both cardiovascular training along with weight training. Those weight loss exercise programs that have you doing hours of cardio on end are not going to be all that beneficial at retaining your lean muscle tissue mass, nor time efficiency. Since, your lean muscle tissue is what keeps your metabolism the highest; it's what you really want to focus on the most. Neglecting this aspect of your workout is a huge mistake and does not maximize the 24 hours in a day you have to burn fat.
Finally, keep in mind that any weight loss program you go on you should be maintainable in the long run. A program that you're only able to maintain in the very short term is likely to not be overly beneficial as if lifestyle changes are not made with regards to how you're eating; chances are that the weight will be back at some point in the near future. Your ultimate goal is a lifestyle change, not a temporary change.
So, if you want to get on a weight loss program that works, be sure to check out Your Six-Pack Quest. As you'll discover when you sign up for this plan you'll get 9 balanced meal plans, 84 days each, ranging from 1200 to 2800 calories. You have literally zero guess work because these plans include grocery lists, a wide variety of meals, tasty meals, and exact times to eat.
