I just finished reading an article on this topic in my Best Health magazine (Canada) and I believe it will be usefuI for others to read. Good posture can alleviate back and neck problems.

Improving your posture article

I was sent this and I want to share it for it can save someone’s life. Traditional CPR is something that many are trained for. Another form of CPR has been developed which is found to be more effective and something anyone can do.

Please watch video on new CPR- Chest Compression

I am listening to this while I post it. I really love what he has to say … greatness is within all of us!

Watch this and see what inspires you: Will’s Wisdom

Donna Sirianni is someone who I had the pleasure to meet in New York a year and a half ago. She is a women driven to show the world that she can and is making her dream come true. She has video, a blog and so much more. She shares with you her journey called: My Wish, the documentary. I really love and respect her and love sharing her work.

Like all of us we sometimes get derailed from our goals and life dreams however not for long. I even question the word derailed as life is a journey and never a straight line. I was watching a fashion show from Istanbul and the designer set the runway up with jagged lines. When asked about this she said — life is never full of straight lines.

Take a look at her video(s) and site:

Through the Eyes of Hope is an incredible project that was initially set up to teach children photography – these children are from an impoverished area. Please read this and see if you can make a difference by supporting and thus empowering these kids to make a difference in their community:

We need to be more aware of the subtle changes over time. Like money and compound interest.. it adds up over time.

Seth Godin’s blog:

Resilience and the incredible power of slow change

Most existing systems (organizations, cities, careers, governments) are resilient to external shocks. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t still be here. Earthquakes, edicts and emergencies come and they go, but the systems remain.

And yet, it’s the emergencies we pay attention to.

No single event demolished the music business. It was a series of slow changes over the course of two decades, all the way back to the CD.

Smoking killed far more people than terrorists ever did. It’s just not as dramatic.

No single technology destroyed the business model for newspapers. Sure, Craigslist hastened their demise, but the writing has been on the wall for a decade or more.

Your career won’t be made or broken on the back of one interview, one meeting, one sales call. Sure, it might help (or hurt), but the sudden impact of one event isn’t sufficient to change everything forever.

The slow changes in the media landscape are accelerating and virtually every pre-digital system is in danger. The slow changes in the marketing landscape are in their second decade and these changes will have their effects on every business and cause as well.

Cultural shifts create long terms evolutionary changes. Cultural shifts, changes in habits, technologies that slowly obsolete a product or a system are the ones that change our lives. Watch for shifts in systems and processes and expectations. That’s what makes change, not big events.

Don’t worry about what happened yesterday (or five minutes ago). Focus on what happened ten years ago and think about what you can do that will make a huge impact in six months. The breaking news mindset isn’t just annoying, it may be distracting you from what really matters. As the world gets faster, it turns out that the glacial changes of years and decades are become more important, not less.

This is an excerpt from the book: Walk the Talk by Eric Harvey and Steve Ventura:

Courage is…

Following your conscience instead of “following the crowd”.
Refusing to take part in hurtful or disrespectful behaviors.
Sacrificing personal gain for the benefit of others.
Speaking your mind even though others don’t agree.
Taking complete responsibility for your actions…and your mistakes.
Following the rules – and insisting that others do the same.
Challenging the status quo in search of better ways.
Doing what you know is right- regardless of the risks and potential consequences.

Competition

The number one reason people give me for giving up on something great is, “someone else is already doing that.”

Or, parsed another way, “my idea is not brand new.” Or even, “Oh no, now we’ll have competition.”

Two big pieces of news for you:

1. Competition validates you. It creates a category. It permits the sale to be this or that, not yes or no. And this or that is a much easier sale to make. It also makes decisions about pricing easier, because you have someone to compare against and lean on.

2. There are six billion people in the world. Even if your market is hand-made spoke shaves for left-handed woodworkers, there are more people in your market than you can ever hope to track down.

There are lots of good reasons to abandon a project. Having a little competition is not one of them. Even if it’s Google you’re up against.

This is a beautiful short film for the women out there….

This a great reminder how we need to connect – one human to another. Take a look at this video: Free Hugs.

Give someone a hug – even from a distance – they can feel your energy.
