🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Forbearance

by
Forbearance
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hast thou named all the birds without a gun;
Loved the wood-rose, and left it on its stalk;
At rich men’s tables eaten bread and pulse;
Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust;
And loved so well a high behavior
In man or maid, that thou from speech refrained,
Nobility more nobly to repay?—
O be my friend, and teach me to be thine!

There are alternative ways to fill the emptiness: helping others, discovering meaning in life. and embracing life each day as a wonderful gift to be enjoyed.

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ The First Step in Optimizing Nutrition for Fitness

by

Optimizing your nutrition for fitness may seem complicated (and sometimes it is), but learning the basics is surprisingly simple and worth your time. What you eat and when you eat it can make an unbelievable difference in all aspects of your physical performance.

But the best place to start actually has nothing to do with macronutrients. Yep, we’re talking about water. Staying hydrated is key to, well, just about everything, and it can help you avoid the kind of muscle soreness that reminds you of your last workout every time you walk down the stairs or get up off the couch. So keep water close at hand throughout the day and you’ll have already checked item No. 1 off the sports nutrition to-do list.

The Difference Between a Good Idea and a Great Idea

Good ideas come along all the time and help people solve minor problems in work and daily life. Great ideas appear a little less frequently and require a little more work to execute. Great ideas aren’t necessarily the result of highly-paid think tanks or drug-induced vision quests in the desert. Often they are unexpected moments of inspiration that help keep the napkin companies in business. The big challenge of generating great ideas is freeing yourself from the conventional, mundane thoughts that occupy most of your brain time.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Loss and Gain

by

Loss And Gain

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When I compare
What I have lost with what I have gained,
What I have missed with what attained,
Little room do I find for pride.

I am aware
How many days have been idly spent;
How like an arrow the good intent
Has fallen short or been turned aside.

But who shall dare
To measure loss and gain in this wise?
Defeat may be victory in disguise;
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.
