5 Keys To Success

Steve Jobs advice in outlining five keys that lead to success...

“Your time is limited. Don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drowned your own inner voice. And, most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.” Steve Jobs

5 Keys To Success

You’re Running Out of Time – Use It Wisely
Steve Jobs channels Buddhist monks from all over the world for this piece of advice. We barely ever really think about how little time we have on this planet. That within a blink of an eye everything could be gone.

The Buddha recognized this fact and used it as one of his motivations for enlightenment.

Don’t wait for tomorrow because tomorrow may never come.

Start right now, in this instance, to work on your success.

Dreaming of it. Crafting it. Creating it.

Don’t wait for the kids to go off to college, the stars to align, or until everything is just right.

Don’t Live Someone Else’s Life
If you truly buy into Steve’s first key to success. Or you’ve recently had tea with the Dalai Lama and he swayed you to the dark side of realizing that we all have a fixed amount of time, then why would you waste it living someone else’s life.

You’ve got dreams of your own. They may have been beaten into silence, but you know they’re still there. Waiting patiently for you to remember them. To nurture them. And have the courage to share them with the world.

Have the courage to be yourself.

What are your dreams?

What do you want?

What make YOU happy?

Dive deep into the mystery and miracle of who you are. There’s never going to be another person like you on the face of this planet. EVER.

Think about that for a second. Embrace it. And get on out there and discover who you are.

Ignore Other People’s Opinions
Abraham Maslow said that the happiest people are the ones that are, “Oblivious of the good opinions of others.”

Now I don’t think Mr. Jobs is saying to steer clear of wise council. It’s good to have other people perspective on things. And I’m sure that apple has a lot of geniuses, clairvoyants and witch doctors to help Mr. Jobs divine the future.

But there’s a lot of people out there who will tell you that it can’t be done. Or you’re not the right person for the job. Or some other form of baloney.

Thank them for their concern and keep pressing on with your dreams.

Listen and ask for the opinions of people who have more experience than you. But keep far away from dream stealer’s.

Follow Your Heart
So often we choose to ignore the “still small voice within.” We get that gut feeling. We know something is up.

We hear our dreams calling out to us but for whatever reason we suppress them, ignore them, and shove them down deep inside.

Maybe we’re trying to keep up with Jones’. Maybe we buy into the “get a good job, keep your head down, and work hard” story they sell us in school.

Whatever the reason the truth is when we stuff those dreams away and lock them deep within our hearts we suffer.

Silently we ache. An agony most of us take quietly to our graves.

The only cure is to dream again. To follow our hearts. To go where life is calling you. To run through fields of wide open possibility.

A quote I love and have adapted slightly from Frederick Buechner is, “Success is found through marrying the worlds deep hunger with your hearts deep gladness.”

It’s no wonder that Steve Jobs has been successful.

So what do you want to be successful at?

Tips For Living Longer

Great article from AskMen.

In 1920, the average lifespan of an American was 60 years. Today, our life expectancy is about 78. What's more, we've learned that genes account for about a third of the problems associated with aging. The other two-thirds? Our lifestyles; including our eating and exercise habits, and how we handle stress.

According to the US Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health, 75% of cardiovascular disease, 60% of women's cancers, and 40% of men's cancers are related to nutrition and diet. Many deaths can be avoided if the persons take proper care of their health. But that, of course, varies across different cultures.

The latino lifeline
Latino senior citizens use hospitals less, yet live longer and die less of heart disease, cancer or stroke. This is good news for our Health Care Systems. But, how do they do it?

Most analysts attribute this to the seeming paradox of longer life expectancies, which for Latinos points to lifestyle as a determinant. Chief among the habits of the "Latino heart" are the importance of family, the maintenance of a work ethic, the role of religion, and the formation of community.

Having strong, healthy family and community life contributes tremendously to living longer. We are, after all, social animals. And we need to balance our emotional needs by interacting with people on a daily basis. The Latino culture provides numerous opportunities for social interaction between family, friends and strangers.

Body batteries
Although social interaction is a big part of a healthy lifestyle, it is also important to have your own "quiet time." In the Latino culture, this is called the siesta. For a couple of hours a day, around early afternoon, Latinos take a small nap in order to rejuvenate their minds and bodies. Although most of us work hard during the day, it's not a bad idea to take at least a half hour nap right after arriving home from work. However, be careful not to sleep longer than 2 hours since this can have a negative effect on your body's energy levels, ultimately draining you as you enter deep sleep mode.

Another key factor that comes into play from the Latino lifestyle is their diet. Latino cuisine includes a lot of fish, olive oil, vegetables, cheeses, and breads. Red meat is almost always kept to a minimum, and rice is used abundantly. The key is that they eat 5 times day in small portions, and generally love to exercise. Their meals are always balanced across all food groups, and they devour large amounts of fruits and vegetables, not to mention corn, wheat and oats.

The following is a comprehensive list you can refer to for tips on how to extend your life and make it more enjoyable at the same time.

Without further ado, I give you the best age-busting tips for the new millennium

Tips For Living Longer

What is the Best Cardiovascular Exercise?

A very informative article from Health News Digest about the cardiovascular exercise.

Running? Biking? Swimming? Insanity? TurboFire? People often ask, "What is the best cardiovascular exercise?"

The answer is simple: There really is no "best" exercise. All types have benefits, and no one exercise will produce greater results than the others. To find the best cardiovascular exercise for you, look at what you enjoy and what will increase your heart rate.

Different types of cardiovascular activities

Cardiovascular, or aerobic, exercise is any continuous activity that gets your heart working and can be sustained from 15 to 60 minutes or beyond. Common cardiovascular activities include jogging, cycling and hiking.

At health clubs, you'll find machines for stair climbing, rowing and elliptical cross-training (your feet move in an elliptical shape), as well as aerobics classes.

The two main types of cardiovascular exercise are weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing.

Weight-bearing: With weight-bearing exercises, your feet and legs support your body weight. Examples include running, stair climbing and rope jumping. These are great for strengthening your bones.

Non-weight-bearing: Here, the body is supported during exercise (i.e., you are not carrying your body weight), as in bicycling, rowing and swimming. These exercises tend to be easier on your back, knees and other joints and can have a lower risk of injury than weight-bearing exercises.

Getting in your zone
For the best results, you need to get in your zone — heart rate zone, that is.
"Exercising at the correct level of intensity is important for proper effectiveness," said Dale Huff, R.D., C.S.C.S. and co-owner of NutriFormance Fitness, Therapy and Performance in St. Louis. "Exercising too lightly may not produce adequate results, while exercising too hard risks injury and exhaustion. For optimal benefits, get in your target heart rate zone and stay there while exercising regularly."

You can roughly calculate your target heart rate zone by taking 60 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. One formula (there are many) for determining your maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. Another more accurate — but also more expensive — way to figure out your maximum heart rate is to be tested in various cardio exercises at a physiology lab.

To help you stay in the right heart range, many fitness equipment manufacturers offer cardiovascular machines that include heart rate sensors. For example, Life Fitness treadmills, total-body elliptical Cross-Trainers, Lifecycle exercise bikes and stairclimbers have Lifepulse digital hand sensors and heart rate Zone Training workout programs that automatically adjust the resistance level based on your heart rate. Or better yet, purchase a heart rate monitor that you can wear during all of your workouts to always know the effectiveness of your workout.

The bottom line
Figure out what cardiovascular activities you enjoy and will do consistently. For best results, mix up your workouts.

"Over time, your body gets more efficient, so you burn fewer calories doing the same exercise. In addition, without variety, boredom can quickly set in," according to Nicole Irlbeck, M.S., a certified athletic trainer in Chicago.

Walk outside one day. For your next workout, try an aerobics tape. Then swim laps or use the stairclimber at the gym. If you prefer a certain exercise or machine, shake things up by incorporating interval training into your routine. Adjust the speed, resistance or incline and push hard for a few minutes. Recover, and then step it up again.

"Interval training is an excellent way to vary your training, increase your results, get better conditioned and fend off boredom," Irlbeck said. "Using cardiovascular machines at the gym is an easy and efficient way to start interval training because most are able to monitor your time, intensity and even your heart rate."

Your options are endless. Jump on a treadmill, go for a run outside, hop on a Lifecycle or dive into a pool — just choose an activity that gets your heart pumping. The "best" cardiovascular exercise is what you enjoy and will do again and again.

Setting Goals: Dream Bigger!

One of the people I truly admire are people like Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Mark Victor Hansen to name a few... since we are on the early part of 2012 this is a great time to set your goals for 2012 if you haven't already.

If you need a little bit of push this article is perfect for you. It's Dreaming Bigger by Chalene Johnson, one of the people I also truly admire.

A fitness, business, and lifestyle coach, Chalene Johnson is a self-made millionaire and captivating motivational speaker. Having shared the stage with Brian Tracy and Brendon Bruchard, she is adept at a variety of topics, from family to business management.

With over 22 years of experience, Chalene was voted one of the World’s top three Instructors by IDEA Fitness 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.

Here's her article:

‘Tis the season for setting goals! Each time January 1st rolls around, it seems as if everyone vows to finally get their life in order…again. New Year’s resolutions like “get in shape,” “be more organized,” “save money” are all too common.

The first few weeks of the year, the gym is packed – not a parking space to be found! The house is all cleaned up with everything neatly in its place, and you haven’t gone shopping since the day after Christmas. Things seem to be on the right track!

However, the 3rd and 4th week of January, for most people, things start to slip a back to normal. The reason for this is often lack of motivation…but our lack of motivation often comes from unfulfilling goals.

So, ask yourself: are your dreams big enough? Do your goals reflect your true desires?

Yes, you can achieve mini-goals such as organizing your garage or finishing the laundry. But, how excited are you really going to be?

We get energized when we do something that we really want – something that we’re super-excited to achieve. So don’t limit yourself to a clean garage. Want more. Challenge yourself. Don’t be afraid to desire.

When we start to want and hope and dream we wake up our creativity and we’re inspired to do the work to achieve our goals.

Don’t put limits on your dreams by reaching too low. Set goals that are thrilling, challenging and awe inspiring. Then, take the steps to achieve them. When you move forward a step or two a day, you’ll be shocked at how much you can accomplish. Dream bigger!

15 Surprising Ways To Improve Your Cholesterol

The Fountain of Youth may be fiction, but there really is a magic gene pool in northern Italy. A few decades ago, researchers discovered that, despite unhealthy cholesterol levels, 40 inhabitants of the village of Limone sul Garda were seemingly immune to heart disease. Turns out it wasn't the famed Mediterranean diet at work, but rather a variation of a protein in HDL cholesterol (the good kind) called ApoA-1 Milano. In less scientific terms, the villagers were born with self-cleaning arteries.

Researchers immediately went to work creating a synthetic version of the plaque-busting protein. And in 2003, they created one. Problem is, the drug is still too expensive to mass produce.

Luckily, you don't have to wait for a magic drug to improve your cholesterol. Here are 15 ways to raise your HDL or lower your LDL (the bad cholesterol) today. The best part: Doing so will literally cost you peanuts--or even less.

1. Eat more nuts.

In an analysis of 25 different studies on walnuts, pecans, almonds, peanuts, pistachios, and macadamia nuts, researchers at Loma Linda University found that eating 67 grams of nuts per day--that's a little more than two ounces--increased the ratio of HDL to LDL in the blood by 8.3 percent. And Australian scientists found that when men replaced 15 percent of their daily calorie intake with macadamia nuts--12 to 16 nuts a day--their HDL levels went up by 8 percent. Even better: You can eat nuts covered in chocolate or rolled in cocoa powder; a Japanese study found that the polyphenols in chocolate activate genes that increase HDL production.

25 Ridiculously Healthy Foods

2. Boost your endurance.

Researchers in Japan found that exercising for 20 minutes a day increases your HDL by 2.5 points. That's not much, but for every additional 10 minutes per day you keep huffing in the gym, you add an extra 1.4 points to your HDL. It doesn't matter whether you pull a rowing machine or power through a tough barbell routine, just keep your activity level at a point where you're panting but not out of breath.

3. Build killer quads.

Ohio University researchers discovered that men who did lower-body work--squats, leg extensions, leg presses--twice a week for 16 weeks raised their HDL levels by 19 percent. For legs and HDL levels that are something to look at, follow the lead of the men in the study: Do three sets of six to eight repetitions of the half squat, leg extension, and leg press, resting no more than 2 minutes between sets. Use a weight that's about 85 percent of the amount you can lift just once.

Get a Thigh-Toning Treadmill Routine

4. Pop a milk pill.

In a study published in the American Journal of Medicine, people who took a daily 1,000-mg calcium supplement saw their HDL-cholesterol levels rise by 7 percent. Choose a brand that contains calcium citrate (not coral calcium) and 400 international units of vitamin D for maximum absorption.

5. Make a date with Mrs. Paul.

When Canadian researchers compared a steady diet of whitefish with regular consumption of lean beef and chicken, they found that the fish-eating folks experienced a 26 percent increase in HDL2, a particularly protective form of HDL. Remember: Fish sticks aren't health food--unless they're baked, like Healthy Selects Sticks from Mrs. Paul's.

6. Learn how to pronounce "policosanol" (poly-CO-sanol).

This mixture of alcohols derived from sugarcane wax is the rare natural supplement that may actually live up to its hype. Doses of 10 to 20 mg a day can increase HDL by up to 15 percent, according to David Maron, M.D., a cardiologist at Vanderbilt University medical center. Two brands to try: Naturals and Nature's Life, both sold at health-food stores.

7. Drink cranberry juice.

University of Scranton scientists found that volunteers who drank three 8-ounce glasses a day for a month increased their HDL-cholesterol levels by 10 percent, enough to cut heart-disease risk by almost 40 percent. Buy 100 percent juice that's at least 27 percent cranberry.

8. Eat grapefruit.

One a day can reduce arterial narrowing by 46 percent, lower your LDL cholesterol by more than 10 percent, and help drop your blood pressure by more than 5 points.

9. Don't let your tank hit empty.

A study in the British Medical Journal found that people who eat six or more small meals a day have 5 percent lower LDL cholesterol levels than those who eat one or two large meals. That's enough to shrink your risk of heart disease by 10 to 20 percent.

10. Eat oatmeal cookies.

In a University of Connecticut study, men with high LDL cholesterol (above 200 mg/dL) who ate oat-bran cookies daily for 8 weeks dropped their levels by more than 20 percent.

11. Switch your spread.

Buy trans fat-free margarine, such as Smart Balance Buttery Spread. Researchers in Norway found that, compared with butter, no-trans margarine lowered LDL cholesterol by 11 percent.

12. Take the Concord.

University of California researchers found that compounds in Concord grapes help slow the formation of artery-clogging LDL cholesterol. The grapes also lower blood pressure by an average of 6 points if you drink just 12 ounces of their juice a day.

13. Swallow phytosterols or phytostanols.

Both substances--derived from pine trees and soy--lower bad cholesterol levels by an average of 10 to 15 percent. Besides being available in supplements, the compounds are in cholesterol-lowering spreads like Benecol and Take Control.

14. Be a part-time vegetarian.

Researchers in Toronto found that men who added a couple of servings of vegetarian fare such as whole grains, nuts, and beans to their diets each day for a month lowered their LDL cholesterol by nearly 30 percent.

15. Switch to dark chocolate.

Finish researchers found that consuming 2.5 ounces of dark chocolate each day boosts levels of HDL by between 11 and 14 percent.

One final tip: Your heart will benefit more from a few long-term health improvements than from a flurry of activity followed by a return to the dangerous norm. Above are the tools to protect yourself. Work five of them into your daily routine over the next month. When they become second nature, try five more. By year's end, you will have given your heart a beating chance.

Tax Deduction Tips You Might Not Know

Who doesn't want to receive a bigger check on their tax refund? There are two kinds of people. Dead people for one and aliens is the other. LOL! On a serious note, I found a helpful article from Professional Tax Resolution

Here are a few things YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW that you can do that may save you some 2011 tax dollars:

1) Make a charitable contribution.
If the last minute contribution is for more than $250, it must be documented by a contemporaneous acknowledgement from the donor organization.

2) Make a contribution to an IRA, 401(k) or other retirement account.
Most retirement plans actually give you up until April 15, 2012 to make a contribution as long as you designate that the contribution should apply to the 2011 Tax Year.

3) Fund a Health Savings Account or a Medical Savings Account.
The money put into these accounts is tax deductible up to certain limits and is not taxed when it is taken out as long as it is used for medical expenses. Any funds put into either of these account types before December 31 can be counted as a tax deduction for 2011 even though will not used for medical expenses until 2012. At the end of each year, money in these savings accounts that has not been used to cover medical expenses during the current year can be rolled over for use during the next calendar year.

4) Consider selling investments that are down if you have sold investments that have shown gains in 2011.
Although the entire amount of capital gains is taxed during the year they are realized, the maximum yearly deduction for capital losses is $3000. However, any capital gains realized during a calendar year can be offset by capital losses posted during the same year. This tax law essentially allows you to increase the allowable capital loss deduction by the entire amount of any gains realized during the same year.

5) If you own a small business, consider making equipment purchases.
A special tax code makes it an advantage to purchase business tools and equipment before the end of 2011. Although the cost of a capital expenditure usually must be depreciated over the predicted life of the equipment, a special tax code allows you to deduct the full amount of a purchase, up to certain limits, in the calendar year it is made. This amount is $500,000 for 2011 but will drop to $139,000 in 2012 and then to $25,000 per year. However, since it's already past Dec 31, 2011 you can take advantage of this on your next filing for your 2012 Tax Returns on or before April 15, 2013.

Health & Nutrition: 3 Ways To Cook Salmon

We've got three delicious recipes that maximize the flavor and health benefits of this pink-fleshed fish. Plus our nutrition expert has top picks for the ingredients.

By Monica Kass Rogers
WebMD the Magazine - Feature Reviewed by Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD

Celtic myth tells the tale of Fionn MacCumhaill, a poet's apprentice who absorbed all the wisdom of the world by eating just a drop of oil from a special salmon. Turns out Fionn was on to something: We're all wise to eat salmon -- especially that marvelous fish oil. Vibrantly colored, tenderly textured, and richly flavored, salmon is loaded with the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

Multiple studies suggest that these polyunsaturated fats help boost the immune system, help reduce the risk of heart disease, and are especially beneficial for a developing fetus, nursing infants, and young children.

The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings a week of fish, preferably oily fish such as salmon. Salmon is one of a few fish rich in omega-3s (1.2 to 1.9 grams per serving, compared with almost none for chicken, pork, and beef). Salmon is also an excellent source of protein, vitamin B12, and selenium, with good amounts of vitamin B6, thiamin, and niacin.

Salmon's characteristic rosy color, which ranges in hue from pale pink to orangey-red, comes largely from astaxanthin, a naturally occurring pigment salmon ingest from microalgae in their diet. Research on astaxanthin suggests that it, too, points to potent protection for the immune system.

Because salmon is a rich fish, the best preparation methods are those that add little or no fat, such as the following three recipes. Cook up your own poetic homage to one of the healthiest fish in the sea.

Salmon Pantry Picks

No matter how you prepare it, versatile salmon cooks up quickly and plays well with a variety of ingredients you'll want to have on hand for these recipes. WebMD's director of nutrition, Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD, suggests these staples for healthy, tasty results.

Greek Yogurt

Higher in protein, more firmly textured, and more tart than regular yogurt, Greek yogurt is great for cooking. Try Fage Total Classic Plain, Total 2% Plain, or Total 0% Plain. Other options? Voskos Greek Plain Non-fat and Plain Low-fat options, Chobani Non-fat Greek and Low-fat (2%) Greek, and Stonyfield's Oikos Plain Organic Greek yogurt.

Light Mayonnaise

The reason there's little flavor difference between regular and light mayonnaise is that mayo makers achieve lightness by whipping mayonnaise with air and water. Light mayos made with canola or olive oil are best, but all vegetable oil-based mayonnaises are fine. Zelman's go-to brand? Hellmann's Mayonnaise Dressing With Extra Virgin Olive Oil. She also recommends Hellmann's Canola Cholesterol Free Mayonnaise, Duke's Light Mayonnaise, Kraft Mayonnaise with Olive Oil, and Miracle Whip Light Mayonnaise.

Panko Picks

Uniquely light, crisp, and perfect for baking or breading salmon, Japanese-style panko breadcrumbs are finely ground without seasonings or fat. Less dense than regular breadcrumbs, panko crumbs have only 100 calories per half cup. They also let the foods they're served with stand out without masking flavor. Try Asian Gourmet Japanese-style Panko Breadcrumbs or Kikkoman Japanese-style Panko Breadcrumbs. For a little boost of fiber and whole grains, Zelman likes Ian's Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs.

Sweet Success

Brown sugar unrefined or partially refined sugar crystals from which all of the molasses has not been spun off is a cooking essential, favored for its rich, caramel taste. There are a lot of "unrefined" sugars out there that are technically brown sugars: turbinado, demerara, and muscovado, to name a few. But they are all pretty much the same, says Zelman. All sugars, except maple, go through the same kind of processing. So choose what you like, just use a little. Some options: C&H Golden Brown Sugar, India Tree Demerara, Billington's Natural Demerara, and Florida Crystals Demerara.

Cool Condiment

Mustard -- that magical yellow mix of seed, vinegar, and spice -- works wonders in recipes by adding flavor without fat and with very few calories. If you've had only "plain" yellow, it's time to branch out. Here is what you'd find in Zelman's refrigerator: Maille Dijon is a delicious classic, French's Sweet & Zesty adds a touch of sweet to spicy mustard, Inglehoffer Stone Ground is handy when you want added texture, and Gulden's Spicy Brown adds a real kick of great spicy flavor.
