I believe that an uninspired mind is a wasted mind.

I believe that an uninspired mind is a wasted mind. I also believe that the more you use your mind at any age, the sharper it will be. With Alzheimer's and other diseases that affect mental function at all time high, I believe it is more important than ever to give our mind a workout every day. Not doing so, encourages diseases to take over our minds.

It is also my belief that you must be active physically. You may be over weight as I am, but you can still have an active life style. I love to play Golf and walk with my wife and our two beagles. Find something that you can do to stay active physically. It is a must do for a long life. Eat good healthy foods and limit your bad foods to very small portions, if you must have them.

When it comes to business, you must be the very best at your profession. Stay current on all the education and motivation available to you in your chosen field. However, the most important thing you must have is "PASSION!" Without a passion for what you do, you simply will not and cannot, be the very best at what you do.

Hi Terry - These are good words to ponder.  You're correct in stating that physical and mental exercise is important in life.  It's important that we understand our strengths and make them work for us.  Our goal in life is to be the best we can be with what talents we're given... Thank you for the inspirational words.

Terry,

Walking the dogs is my usual form of stress relief.  A horseback ride is fun, but not always as calming as walking around the neighborhood. 

Dogs wont buck you off or spook, lol.

My work is my Passion but a day just sitting and watching the ocean and "Just Being" is a great way to regroup when needed..

Those are all great ideas, and good advice.  In this business it is easy to lose the balance between work and enough of all the other parts of life.  AR helps with the inspiration.

Terry,

You have inspired me. I will get up in the morning and walk with our Goldendoodle. I need the stress relief and she needs the exercise!!

Thanks and have a wonderful Thursday!

Terry - I read, do puzzles, play games to keep my mind fresh. And, this morning I will be mowing the lawn. Keeping mind and body going helps keep them going longer.

And always remember that your education continues every day of your life. If people were taught to form their opinions based on the facts, and their continuing observations, I think our nation would be much better off.

My Canon Rebel XSi has taken me away from the desk and out into the world for a good, lengthy, healthy walk each day, and I usually manage to get in at least one game of chess.
