👊 Today’s Power Thought ~ Today is Waiting for You

Show up fired up and give it your best. You’ll out shine and out perform anyone close by.

💡 Something to Think About

I’ve known many people who were so close to an attainable goal who quit. And, I’ve known many people who struggled and sacrificed until they reached their goal. They were often not as talented as those who quit, the difference being that they refused to give up. They kept working and grinding until they reached their goal. Keep working and grinding, you’re doing fine. Don’t quit.

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Basil, It’s Pretty and Pretty Healthy

Basil – A Tasty and Healthy Herb

Basil has been scientifically proven to be an extremely effective natural remedy for stomach ailments and issues. Research reveals that basil is rich in eugenol, a nutrient compound that fortifies the abdomen and intestines against nausea, diarrhea, stomach aches and cramps. Basically, eugenol combats against harmful bacteria such as Listeria and Salmonella, and it shields the digestive system against all bacterial attacks.

Moreover, eugenol also has a powerful antispasmodic profile that allows it to eliminate and prevent cramps. And the best part is, basil adds a succulent flavor to any and every dish, you can add it to your pasta, pizza, sauces or you can even serve minced fresh basil atop your salads or as a garnish on your casserole meals.

💡 Something to Think About

One side says, “I don’t understand why they have those viewpoints.”

The other side says, “I don’t understand why they have those viewpoints.”

So, neither side talks to the other side because each side sees the other side as ignorant, biased, filled with hate. What would happen if both sides sat down and explained why they feel the way they do; then listen to the other side do the same?

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ The Sun

The Sun
Mary Oliver
Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful

than the way the sun,
every evening,
relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon

and into the clouds or the hills,
or the rumpled sea,
and is gone–
and how it slides again

out of the blackness,
every morning,
on the other side of the world,
like a red flower

streaming upward on its heavenly oils,
say, on a morning in early summer,
at its perfect imperial distance–
and have you ever felt for anything
such wild love–
do you think there is anywhere, in any language,
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure

that fills you,
as the sun
reaches out,
as it warms you

as you stand there,
empty-handed–
or have you too
turned from this world–

or have you too
gone crazy
for power,
for things?
