Healthy Living 101

[Vegas69]

The basic fundementals of life never change. They have been the same since the beginning of time. Good Health, Continuing Education, Honesty, Putting in your best effort through labor, Character, Relationships, Economics, etc. They will never change.

I've found that serious personal development makes you a scholar of your own life. It helps you diagnose why things are going right and also, why they are going wrong. No matter what you do, you will always have off days and get in ruts. It's never going to change. What can change is how long it takes for you to comprehend the real source of the problem and change your attitude. How fast can you turn things around and start heading back in the right direction?

"You are what you think about." -Earl Nightingale

Give that some serious thought because it's 100% true. Your thoughts control your attitude, confidence, action, and ultimately, results and success.

You can't change the way you think overnight. To put it in car terms, your brain is like an old radiator that needs flushed. As you add water, you start to push out all the old sludge and corrosion, eventually you will end up with clean water. While the memories good and bad will remain, you now have new information that starts to shape your philosophy and attitude on life. I wrote in my journal this week that I've spent 8 months flushing out 35 years of life. While I've come a long long ways, it takes time to completely change the way you think. Controlling your thoughts is one of the most difficult tasks we will ever face. I have no plans to ever quit flushing my brain with fruitful information. (Books, CD's, Church) Anything of positive influence..... I've found that my best days are normally the days I spend the most time of personal development. Some weekdays I'll spend 1.5 hours. Read in the morning before work/journal, listen to CD's on the way to work, between appointments, and read before bed. The more time you spend on personal development, the more ideas and information you have to utilize.

Those are your deep thoughts by Todd Akes for the night...
