Success is knowing you are running your life; it isn’t running you.

Success is having time for work and play.
Success is knowing you controlled the wise use of your resources.
Success is knowing you have done your best.
Success is knowing your future expenditure will be paid for by future income.
Success is knowing failure is simply an event that is part of your successes.
Success is taking personal responsibility for your victories and your failures and not being overwhelmed by either.

Where the mind is without fear....

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-lasting thought and action...
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Exercise

Exercise’ means nothing more than moving our body.
Brisk walking is a great form of exercise.
Physical activity at work contributes to lowering the risk of colon cancer.

Take a flight of stairs instead of elevator. Take the family for a walk two or three evenings a week, instead of turning on the TV. Mow your own lawn. Rake your own leaves. Push your own snow blower. Exercise your imagination.

There are thousands of things you can do to increase physical activity and reduce your risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. Add more of the ‘exercise of daily living’ to your life.

Even simple walks near our residence, playing with our children in a park, etc is exercise and will be beneficial.

We don’t have to join a club to participate in exercise that will reduce our risk of chronic disease. Even leisure-time walking has been shown to reduce inflammation, and adding dietary supplementation provides anti-inflammatory benefits.

Thought For The Day

All truly wise thoughts have been thought already, thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take firm root in our personal experience.

I Live ....

I live for those who love me;
For those who know me true;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.

Autumn

I like spring, but it is too young.
I like summer, but it is too proud.
So I like best of all autumn, because its leaves are a little yellow, its tone mellower, its colors richer, and it is tinged a little with sorrow.

Its golden richness speaks not of innocence of spring, nor of the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and is content: ~Lin Yutang
