193 Shares As a lifelong fitness enthusiast, I know the great importance of proper nutrition. Still being able to maintain a 30 inch waistline in my middle age, I think that I should have enough proven credibility to give you a few tips on how to build healthy eating habits and make them stick. Physical activity is only 50% of the overall health equation. The other 50% is nutrition. And without healthy eating habits, one will not be able to achieve good health and fitness. So it does depend on what you eat, and... More »
157 Shares I was meeting the new lady I’m dating at our local federal tax center before going out to dinner with her. This is because when it comes to filing her income tax returns, she’s a chronic procrastinator. This particular day was the deadline for filing tax returns and when we spoke just the night before, my lady friend revealed that she had not even started on her income tax yet. Because of her procrastination, she would have to get to one of those tax preparation services before work and pick up her... More »
149 Shares Recently, I did an interview on my motivational video series with a lady named Laura who was one of my ski students this past winter. The reason why I interviewed her was because it turns out that she has done almost 500 skydiving jumps to date, all before turning the age of 25. Needless to say, this really impressed me. During our interview, she mentioned that as a child she was actually very scared of heights. But she claims that fear can be used as a strength — which I found very... More »
I was watching the documentary entitled Frozen Planet, which is an absolutely incredible series showing nature and wildlife in the high Arctic as well as the Antarctic. This series has been one of the most entertaining and educational television programs I’ve seen in a long while. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a must-see — as the producers did a great job educating us about the far reaches of our planet with some awesome film footage. Teamwork in The Arctic Two separate scenes on opposite ends of the Earth showed a similar theme in... More »
113 Shares Having been a dog owner since 1979, I’m a total advocate for pet ownership. The benefits that one can get from having a pet are enormous. My dogs have the uncanny ability to help me to start each day right. However, I also have to admit that pets are not for everyone. So if you are thinking of getting a pet, here are seven factors to consider before you do bring one home. You don’t want to make the mistake of bringing home the wrong type of pet or finding out that... More »
153 Shares So many people are in such a hurry to success that they eagerly take any shortcuts that come across their way. In reality, shortcuts usually lead to disappointments rather than quicker success. The key to any long-term success is to take the necessary steps to steadily progress rather than skip any of them. This would be true whether the goals are financial or health or relationship related. I’ve seen gullible people buy into the many ‘get rich quick’ or ‘lose weight fast’ schemes out there only to find out that none of... More »
137 Shares With the continuing international conflicts in the Middle East, gas prices have been rising. This has resulted in much frustration among car drivers, especially since costs are already high at the pump. I am among those who feel the pinch of gas price increases, as I have to fill up my car on average once per week during the winter due to my commutes to the ski slopes. (Hey, it’s my way of embracing winter.) Fortunately for me, the rest of the year is really not so bad. I don’t have to... More »
52 Shares If you live in Canada, the northern USA or any other region in the world where there are cold winters, I’m sure that you hear it all the time. Many people in these areas will constantly complain about how bitter cold it is outside during the winter months. These folks hate winter, hate the snow and get wait until the spring arrives. If financial budgets are there, these people will book the next flights to sunny tropical destinations for a vacation just to get away from the cold. The travel industry of... More »
85 Shares I just came back from a quick getaway and it was such a worthwhile experience. Today with increasing financial constraints, which limits many people from taking longer, farther vacations, the quick getaway is a fantastic option. No need for many vacation days The quick getaway does not require taking a week’s worth of vacation days. It can be done over a long weekend or even just a normal two-day weekend. My latest trip was just two nights away. One can save up vacation days for those future longer trips further from home.... More »
144 Shares When you look at a set of building blocks, you might notice that each block on its own does not really amount to much. But when a whole bunch of building blocks are put together, suddenly they form something much more interesting and significant. This is the same with what happens to our own lives as well. Too often, we all get a little down if we feel that we have not achieved any of our big goals we set for ourselves. We may see our lives filled with failures. But in... More »
66 Shares We are approaching the time of year when many people have already blown their New Year resolutions. For example, according to the fitness industry, a ton of gym memberships are sold from December to February but attendance significantly drops from March and on when people who were hoping to get fit as a New Year resolution will give up. This happens year after year for not only health-related resolutions but for pretty well all types including saving money and quitting smoking. If this has already happened to you or if you are...

193 Shares Before I get started, some of you must be thinking that I’ve gone completely mad suggesting that we should be waking up like a dog — or any other animal for that matter. Let me explain. Each morning here at my home (without fail), one of my Lhasa Apso dogs (a boy named Chester) starts to prop himself up at the side of my bed at about 6:30 am to see if I’m getting up yet. He does this even if it’s still completely dark outside — like it usually is during... More »
128 Shares Quite often when you are listening to a speaker, teacher or seminar leader, you are thinking to yourself that this person is either a really good presenter or a boring one. For some reasons you are not totally sure of, you have put that person in your mind in one of these two classifications. Of course, if you are ever to be asked to do a presentation in front of people either at work or at a social event like a wedding, you definitely want to do your best so that you... More »
