Do you take time each day to appreciate what you have, exercise, learn, and reflect on your life? If not, you are really missing out. Practicing gratitude, exercise, learning something new, and reflecting on how you are living your life can provide amazing physical and mental benefits.

And these benefits are not just limited to our personal life. Taking time each day to improve our own mental and physical health has positive effects in the workplace.

What's one thing you can start doing this week?
Strength training! If you don't have weights, that's okay! Try doing push-ups (you can do them on your knees or do negative push-ups if you can't yet do them normally; don't get discouraged because you can't do a regular push-up. I couldn't the first time I tried), squats, and lunges are a good start. I would suggest watching a video on proper form if you haven't performed these exercises before.

Why strength train?

No matter how old or young you are, numerous studies show that strength training at least 20 minutes a day for at least 2 days a week greatly improves mental abilities, fights off mental diseases such as dementia, helps to prevent depression, and has many more benefits for people of all ages. Don't let age be an excuse, start strength training today!

Here is one of many articles talking about benefits of strength training:

Knowledge is worthless without action, it's like having a house covered in Christmas lights and never turning them on.

You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don't apply it to anything, the only thing that will happen to the knowledge is that it will follow you to the grave.

Henry Ford was once on the stand and questioned by laywers in court. The laywers questioning Ford had one objective: Prove Ford to be an uneducated ignoramus.
For hours, the laywers asked him history questions like the ones that come out in high schiol history tests.

He finally responded, as quoted by Napolean Hill in The Law of Success, '"If I should really wish to answer the foolish question you have just asked, or any of the others you have been asking, let me remind you that I [...] could call in men who could give me the correct answer to all [of those questions and more]. Now, will you kindly tell me why I should bother about filling ym mind with a lot of useless details in order to answer every fool question that anyone may ask, when I have able men all about me who can supply me with all the facts I want when I call for them?"' Knowledge is only as useful as the actions of the person who applies it. Don't get me wrong, knowledge is important! You should read and learn every day, BUT don't let knowledge go to waste. Apply it to your life whenever you can. Only then will you truly grow.

There are as many opportunities out there as there are lights in this photo. They are all around. Sometimes we don't know where to look. Other times, there are just so many we can't focus on one. We get distracted, and think, "Oh wait, maybe that light is brighter than this one!" and then end up changing directions. At times we really do focus on one light and it is going great. We put tons of effort in, and just as it is about to be in our grasp... p**f. It burns out.

Instead of wasting energy on the common regrets, "If I only started a little sooner," or "if I only took a little faster path," you should take a step back and look at the bigger picture, the one you saw when you first started looking at all the different lights.

The effort you put in wasn't a waste. There is another light right next to the one that just burnt out. Just reflect on what you learned so far and start running towards it. If you keep on focusing on one light at a time, you will succeed.

The importance of bridges:
Everyone has somewhere they want to go. Everyone has goals. However, goals are only obtainable through taking action and being persistent. You could say you are on one side of the river and your goal is on the other.

In order to reach your goal, you have to make a plan to get to the other side. The more effort you put in, the more of the bridge is built. But in order to build a bridge, you must first plan, then learn, and then execute. The most important part, though, is taking action. Planning is taking action. Learning is taking action. Executing is taking action.

Take time out every morning to plan, learn, and execute. That will bring you one step closer to finishing your bridge. Once you finish your first bridge, you will have the knowledge and confidence to begin your next bridge to an even greater goal.

Building a bridge takes time and effort. Part of it might collapse while you are building it. It might collapse while you are walking across it. But if you don't give up, and continue to plan, learn, and take action, your bridges will become stronger and bigger. The Tower Bridge in London took 8 years to build, and it's architects, Sir Horace Jones and Sir John Wolfe Barry, had dozens of years of experience and many projects under their belt before creating it.

While your first bridge won't be as extravagant as the Tower Bridge in London, start planning, learning, and building now. Prioritize on one realistic goal at a time and execute. Start now! Don't wait. We have a finite amount of time. While Sir Horace Jones had many great architectural designs he saw to fruition, he died before his most well-known design was completed. Don't procrastinate any longer. Don't waste time and energy on things that don't add to the quality of your life. Start now so you can enjoy your masterpiece before your time ends.

After a 20 minute hike, we made it to the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong, aka Sunrise Peak. We waited, watching the sky slowly light up. At 6:01am, the sun peaked out behind the clouds that looked one with the distant ocean waters. It quickly disappeared behind clouds again.

Just like the sun, you have a magnificent shine. However, that shine may be hidden behind distractions, emotional baggage, or unorganized days. Start your day early. Begin with exercise to energize your body and clear your mind.

Then take time to be grateful for everything you have. Reflect on your life progress, prioritize your goals, and set a plan for the day. Take ownership of your life; don't be a victim. Don't blame others, find a way to create the solution.

Do these things and you, along with all your endeavors, will shine.

There's a story that a man named Isaac Newton sat under an apple tree at a university. An apple fell and hit him on the head, which led him to discover the law of gravity.

It's not the apple that led him to his discovery. It's actually the hours, day after day, he spent studying in that same spot. He probably saw 100s of apples fall before that day, and even more leaves, chestnuts, and other falling objects. Each one of these was an opportunity he wasn't ready for.

Moral of the story: Opportunities are all around every day. If you want to seize them, study and learn every day. Prepare yourself and be aware so you notice them and take action.
