Take the lid off your limits; dare to do what others dare not do. Don’t delay. Act now.
It takes courages to get up after you’ve been knocked down. It takes courage to try, try, and try again. It takes courage to face one’s fears and not step away.
The greatest legacy we can leave is to live a life filled with integrity, honor, and love.
Nobel Deeds
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The tidal wave of deeper souls
Into our inmost being rolls,
And lifts us unawares
Out of all meaner cares.
Honor to those whose words or deeds
Thus help us in our daily needs,
And by their overflow
Raise us from what is low!
The short answer is yes. If you eat too much protein, there may be a price to pay. For example, people that eat very high protein diets have a higher risk of kidney stones. Also a high protein diet that contains lots of red meat and higher amounts of saturated fat might lead to a higher risk of heart disease and colon cancer, while another high protein diet rich in plant-based proteins may not carry similar risks. However, for the average person (who is not an elite athlete or heavily involved in body building) it’s probably best to aim for no more than 2 gm/kg; that would be about 125 grams/day for a 140-pound person. New information could change our thinking about the maximum safe amount, but until we know more about the safety, risks and benefits of high protein diets, this seems like a reasonable recommendation.
Cut yourself some slack. No one’s perfect. You’ll make mistakes, it’s part of living. Loosen up, enjoy life a bit more, look in the mirror and smile, you’ll get a smile back.
As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was lying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his dome-like brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his bulk, waved helplessly before his eyes.
Children have the wonderful gift of spontaneity. Is it time to recapture the spontaneous spirit you had as a child? Do something completely spontaneous. Let it take you away from today’s worries, at least for a while.
Olive oil is heart healthy. It lowers the levels of total blood cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides. It also prevents the formation of fatty patches.
Joe: “I can tell when my girlfriend is really angry with me just be looking at her hands.”
Pete: “How so, Joe?”
Joe: “If she’s holding a gun, she’s really upset.”
