Duncan Nugget® #95: Health and Wellness

I once saw someone working out on the treadmill while she was reading a tabloid. The publication was three levels below the National Enquirer. The story that she was engrossed in was about Elvis and Bruce Lee being kidnapped by aliens.

How ironic is that? She was taking good care of her body, but cramming all of that garbage into her mind.

Eating healthy and thinking healthy go hand because the mind and body have inescapable effect on each other. Substances introduced to the body affect the mind; processes introduced to the mind affect the body.

One step. It’s called progress.

Duncan Nugget® #47: Focus on Your Strengths, Manage Your Weaknesses

One of the secrets of success is to constantly get better at what you do best and learn to manage or delegate when it comes to your weaknesses.

Focus on your strengths, manage your weaknesses.

Spend SOME of your time focusing on your weaknesses; spend MOST of your time focusing on your strengths.
