What If . . .
What if I didn’t listen to those who told me I couldn’t do it. People we trust, we love, and we count on often place their fears on to us. They’re well-intentioned, but they view our life through their prism. If we look at what they think is impossible or foolish to attempt and examine the potential good that can come from our effort, we’ll have all the motivation we need to attempt what others view as impossible. Don’t let anyone talk you out of trying. It’s your life.
Today’s Health Tip ~ Chia Seeds are Loaded with Antioxidants
Chia seeds are an excellent source of antioxidants
Chia seeds are high in protein and fiber, both of which have been shown to aid weight loss. However, studies on chia seeds and weight loss have provided mixed results. The specific antioxidants in chia seeds include chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol. These may all have protective effects on your heart and liver, as well as anticancer properties.For example, chlorogenic acid may help lower blood pressure, while caffeic acid has anti-inflammatory effects.
Something to Think About
You ever had a day when nothing seems to go your way? I have. I’ll look back and say, ‘I didn’t see that one coming.’ Whatever it was, it came roaring in like a runaway truck cascading down a steep mountain grade. All one can do is hold tight knowing it’s going to be a wild ride. It eventually ends and makes way for the days where everything falls into place. Both kinds of days are part of the fabric of life. They happen. Some days we dance and other days we run for cover.
A Better Life ~ Take Stock of What You Have
Take a moment and take stock of what you have. Do you have good health? Do you have a family who welcomes you? Do you have friends you can count on? Do you have people who depend on you? If you do, you are rich beyond measure. You may not have all you want, yet, what you have is a treasure.
What If . . .
What if I did the things I know I should be doing? Wow, that question demands great responsibility from me. If I do the things I’m supposed to do, the people I live with, work with, and know can count on me. When I do what I am supposed to do, no matter how unpleasant or difficult, I make a big difference in my life and in the lives of those who surround me.
Today’s Power Thought ~ Be Well Suited for the Future
What we perceive as the truth today may not be the truth tomorrow. Things change. New knowledge is learned. When we approach life with an open mind and eyes willing to see, we can adapt to evolving situations. Don’t fear change or new knowledge. Adapt to it and you’ll be well suited for the future.
Today’s Poem ~ To You
To You.
Walt Whitman
STRANGER! if you, passing, meet me, and desire to speak to me, why should you
not speak to me?
And why should I not speak to you?
not speak to me?
And why should I not speak to you?
