But the benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular diseaseW, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling.Read more...(360 words, 1 image, estimated 1:26 mins reading time)
Einstein stated, “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
Reflect and Learn
Ah, if life were nothing but victories! Everyone makes mistakes by the boat load, you in particular. Confident people somehow learn along the way that mistakes need not drag them down.
They don’t dwell on them. They regard them as lessons, life lessons, that give them insights that they perhaps did not have before. Read more...(220 words, 1 image, estimated 53 secs reading time)
Billie Jean King once said, “Be bold. If you’re going to make an error, make a doozy, and don’t be afraid to hit the ball.”
Practice Boldness
I’m not asking you to engage in dangerous behavior, be foolhardy, or be reckless. However, I want you to engage in one act of boldness per week as part of your overall strategy for becoming more self-confident.
Boldness here means undertaking some deliberate action that involves attempting more than you usually comfortably attempt.
For example, maybe you can head up that fund drive for your church or community group, even though you’ve never done anything like that before. Read more...(332 words, 1 image, estimated 1:20 mins reading time)

“The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you.
The more you help others, the more they will want to help you.
In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load.
When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with.”
It is to help everyone I meet be successful and happy (their definition), and then to use their new-found success and happiness to make others successful and happy.
It is a lofty goal. It is also one that I am firmly committed to and fully believe that I can achieve.
I start each day with an affirmation in the form of a question: “Who can I help today to be successful and happy, and who can help me?” Read more...(630 words, 1 image, estimated 2:31 mins reading time)

There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living. –David Starr Jordan
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People embody many of the fundamental principles of human effectiveness.
These habits are basic; they are primary.
They represent the internalization of correct principles upon which enduring happiness and success are based.
But before we can really understand these Seven Habits, we need to understand our own “paradigms” and how to make a “paradigm shift.”
Both the Character Ethic and the Personality Ethic are examples of social paradigms. Read more...(821 words, 1 image, estimated 3:17 mins reading time)

Under normal conditions the body is able to accomplish all of these activities with no problem because of the existence of cartilage. Cartilage is the smooth elastic tissue that covers the ends of bones, allowing them to glide across and cushion each other as the body moves. Bones and joints are intended to work synergistically to provide structure and flexibility.
Glucosatrin®
The body sustains healthy joint maintenance by continually rebuilding and regenerating cartilage. This is what allows the bones and joints to uphold their shock-absorbing capabilities. However, as the body ages or incurs injuries it is sometimes more difficult to sustain healthy cartilage regeneration. Read more...(210 words, 1 image, estimated 50 secs reading time)

A free radicalW is an atomic structure with an unpaired electron in its outermost shell.
These unpaired electrons tend to be highly reactive, resulting in chemical reactions such as oxidationW.
Isotonix® Antioxidant
Because they have one or more unpaired electrons, free radicals are highly unstable. They scavenge the body to grab or donate electrons, causing damage to cells, proteins and DNA.
Free radicals are naturally occurring; however, air pollution, stress, smoking, heavy exercising and aging all contribute to the creation of harmful free radicals.

Simply put, Friend, the reason there are things you want that have not yet appeared in your life, is because you’re just not used to thinking of yourself with them.
The tendency to settle upon a cursed how as a means to achieve a particular goal, is simply a sign that you’ve momentarily forgotten how unlimited, creative, and powerful I am, and that I tirelessly conspire on your behalf when you leave me every option.
There is no detail so small, no thought however fleeting, no word unspoken, no deed mindlessly performed, that doesn’t send its vibration into the unseen, reaching my heart of hearts, where it echoes and returns as more of the same.
And as your cumulative manifestations draw your attention to the stunning and absolute power you have over your destiny, you’ll come to see that, really and truly, there’s no such thing as a small detail.
You know those people, Friend, you sometimes feel you’re waiting for?
I mean new friends and connections, agents and directors, customers and clients, publishers and producers, dear hearts and darlings. Well, they’re actually just waiting for you… to make some serious room for them in your life.
Sometimes it just sneaks up on you, Friend, doesn’t it? You don’t even see it coming. Suddenly and without warning, you’re surrounded by the best friends you’ve ever known.
You’re waking up in the mornings just “dying” to get into the day. There’s a lightness in your step and a gleam in your eye. Your thinking is new, your laughter frequent, and you’re drawn to tears whenever you hear happy tales.
You’re on a roll, so it’s not like you’re thinking about it, but if you were to think about it, you wouldn’t know what’s gotten into you, nor would you recall just when. You’d only shake your head whenever you thought of how quickly everything can change… Read more...(154 words, 1 image, estimated 37 secs reading time)
