Enthusiasm

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sowing Seeds

If you sow seeds of fear, doubt, panic, and procrastination, it will most likely work against you.

If you keep doing the same things you're doing now, you will keep ending up in similar places to where you are now.

Balance At The Job

Heading to a brainstorming session at work? Goof off a little first. Research suggests that being in a good mood boosts creative thinking.

A new study published in the journal Psychological Science has found that being in a good mood boosts creative thinking. And, say the study’s authors, doing things at work that put us in a happier frame of mind shouldn’t necessarily be viewed as a waste of time.

Watching funny videos, for instance, helped people perform better on a series of tests that required creative problem solving. Of course, that doesn’t mean your boss will agree with you on this one. Lift your mood before work or during your lunch hour by listening to humorous podcasts or hanging out with the office clown. Besides boosting creativity, laughter is also a great way to relieve stress.

HEAVEN ON EARTH

YOUR WORD CAN CREATE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DREAM, OR YOUR WORD CAN DESTROY EVERYTHING AROUND YOU.

IMPECCABILITY OF THE WORD ONLY CREATES BEAUTY, LOVE, AND HEAVEN ON EARTH.

Measuring

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

Martin Luther King Jr.

MANIFESTED

REGARDLESS OF WHICH LANGUAGE YOU SPEAK, YOUR INTENTIONS WILL MANIFEST THROUGH YOUR WORD.

WHAT YOU DREAM, WHAT YOU FEEL, AND WHAT YOU TRULY ARE WILL BE MANIFESTED THROUGH THE WORD.

Trans-Fats

Foods can claim to be trans-fat-free if they have less than .5 grams. Instead, check ingredients for shortening or hydrogenated oil.

Think your diet is trans-fat-free? You might be surprised. Foods that contain less than half a gram of trans fat per serving are allowed to claim they have zero grams of the heart-damaging fat.

Current dietary guidelines recommend consuming no more than 1.11 grams of trans fat per day. So eating just a few servings of supposedly trans-fat-free products could inadvertently put consumers over that limit. Unlike other fats, trans fat (also known as trans fatty acid) wallops cholesterol levels in two ways — it raises “bad” LDL and lowers “good” HDL, both of which can increase the risk of heart disease.

To figure out if a food contains trans fat, scan the ingredients. If you see the words “hydrogenated,” “partially hydrogenated,” or “shortening,” it most likely contains some amount of trans fat. Fully or completely hydrogenated oil does not contain trans fat. If the label simply says “hydrogenated,” it’s safer to stay away.
