Your Future is Determined by Your Actions Today!

By Grant Cardone
What you do today, not yesterday, is what will determine how you live your life tomorrow. Its unfortunate that so many people spend time regretting yesterday, stewing over it, planning their life around it when it’s over, gone, finished! Yesterday in no way can impact tomorrow. "Yesterdays" only ruin your ability to create a tomorrow.
Consider your marriage: For a marriage to prosper you have to keep your attention on creating the future. Things like: dates dinners, plans, vacations, new adventures, mutual goals and projects are what will ensure its future. The marriage will not survive on the love of yesterday, but only on what is created in the future.
Take your business. Let's say you want to build your customer base and haven't been doing that for some years. The only thing that matters now is that you envision how you want your future to look and then take the actions necessary today in building it! No reason to spend time on yesterday, as yesterday is only filled with regrets, remorse, guilt, etc. Only your actions of today will impact and ensure your future! The next thing you do or don't do is what will create the future for you! Taking any action to build your client base is better than none at all. And the more action you take, the more your future will look like you want it to.
This is why newspapers can be so damaging for people to read! They are often focused on yesterdays not tomorrows. Your future is a summation of your actions today, not what you did or did not do yesterday!
Yes, you can learn from the past, but what you do today, not yesterday, is the only thing that will determine your success tomorrow! You can learn where you picked up the nail that gave you a flat; which would be good to know so that you avoid that spot of the road in the future, but right now, I suggest you change the tire as quickly as possible, be thankful you didn't have an accident and get on with your trip! Put your attention on where you are going, not on the nails of the past, and step on the gas pedal of action!
Anytime things get a little slow for me, there are the five steps I take to make sure my future shows up the way I want it to. Grab a pen and paper and do this NOW!
Put attention on and write down what you want your whole future to look like Put your attention on and write down what you want certain areas of your life to look like, for example, name out a specific project Do ONLY those actions necessary to create that future. Do those actions in massive proportions. Find other resources, friends, family, or employees to help you promote and continue those actions! Forget yesterday; forget five seconds ago, and take action right now on your future!

Diabetes and Food Style: Turn Your Food into Your Medicine

by: Dev Sri

  Fast paced life of modern world has necessitated us to give only lower priority to nutrition. This is at a time when nutrition awareness of everyone is high. Instead of taking well cooked food items, fruits and juices, people go after carbonated drinks, fast 'junk' food, frozen and preserved food, microwave food. People also don’t take the time to enjoy and appreciate the food they eat. Today most of us just need any food that fills the belly for sometime.

This food habits have given rise to a variety of health problems. Significantly important one among them is diabetes.

Ayurvedic principles tell us food is one important element that keeps a person in a balanced state of body, mind and soul. Taking healthy food translates into healthy body.

Ayurvedic view on diabetes is no different. There are times when diabetes can attack without any warning sign. Ayurvedic food style combined with certain herbal applications helps one effectively manage his or her condition of diabetes.

High sugar level is the most dreaded thing about diabetes. Ayurveda recommends food items that don't release excess sugar into the blood. Food items that are too sweet, ice cream, chocolate, friend food items, white flour, preserved food, fast food, junk food etc are to be avoided. Bad habits like smoking and drinking should be given up.

Ayurveda recommends Ayurvedic herbal tea for diabetic patients. Replace sugar with honey or jaggery (thickened molasses - sarkkara) or better still palm jaggery (thickened palm molasses - karippatti).

The advantages or drinking more than eight glass of water everyday is not easily told in an essay. Drink a minimum of 8-15 glass of water in the day time. After sunset take only minimal quantities of water. Another thing is to drink plenty of water an hour before a meal and an hour after the meals. Drinking water close to meals dilute the digestive fire (in Ayurveda it is called pitta) and makes the process of digestion difficult.

Take fruits like grapes, fig, pomegranate, citrus fruits etc. Bitter melon (bitter gourd, karela) is used as medicine for diabetes.

The point about Ayurvedic management of diabetes is never a hard task. All you will have to do is to incorporate Ayurvedic principles as your daily routine. Having healthy food and exercise regime itself can help one control his or her diabetes to a great extent.

Include turmeric and garlic as spices, bitter gourd as vegetable, triphala as a laxative and drinking lot of water as daily habit. These are not very difficult to follow. You can't eat or drink all the food items you have. But living a sweeter life sometimes means giving up some sweet for tongue food items.

Exercise With Your Kids

Performing any type of exercise on a routine basis is a good way to keep your body in shape. It is also a good way to burn fat and calories in the body that come from the food that is eaten on a day-to-day basis. Exercise is one of the ways that people have to keep the body healthy and fit. But who says you have to exercise by your self. People can always ask a friend to join them and parents can most certainly invite all of their kids to join them whenever they choose to exercise.

By taking the kids along while a parent is exercising, they will find that it is a good way to keep everyone at home in shape. Kids can be good company on long walks and there are always things that a parent can find to discuss with their children while they are out of the house. Everybody needs someone to talk to while exercising because it makes the exercise seem effortless.

Children enjoy going to the park or riding their bicycles for long periods at a time. These are some of the things that a parent must consider when they ask their children to join them in an exercise program. They may just switch the tables and invite the parents for a ride or a walk through a park.

Some parents take these invitations one step further and take their kids to a park that they have wanted to see for some time. There are many amusement parks throughout the United States and all of them require families to do a lot of walking to get from one attraction to another. A parent might have to bring some walking shoes with them on vacation but for serious family time, it is quite possible that the whole family will too.

Some of the daily exercise programs could involve bike riding with the kids. Parents could show how tough they are by peddling up hills that have steep inclines to them. Then the whole family could be invigorated by the brisk ride back down them, and have fun while do it. The kids might even decide to challenge the parent to do it again just to see if they are in good enough physical shape to climb that steep hill all over again.

The exercise with the kids does not have to be the same every day. Some days the family could walk briskly through a park and ride the bus back home. At other times, the entire family might head to the local mall and make it a point to walk around the entire shopping complex inside and out a few times. This form of exercise if very popular with senior citizens and the indoor environment makes them feel safer than they would in a local gym.

When you are exercising, always make sure you have plenty of water to drink. All exercise participants need to know the limits that they can reach and they never want to exceed them at any time during their exercise period. People also need to pace themselves through the various courses, because kids are younger and might have more tolerance than their parent does when exercising with their kids.
