Your Lifestyle Choices

Almost everyone's wish is to enjoy life more. Whatever your present everyday situation, building a better more enjoyable life tomorrow starts right now today.

Five realities form the foundation of an enjoyable life. The first reality, totally within your control, is to make the important decisions in life with a positive attitude. Second, be sincerely grateful for everything you now have. Find ways to espress thanks to all people that opened doors for you to grow. Every day there are many simple events that you encounter that when viewed positively can be enjoyed. Third, have a life plan for your future with specific goals that are both near-term and long-term. Life will always be a work in progress but without goals you will lose direction. Fourth, honestly look at your personality, your motivations and your behavior when dealing with other people. For example, ego is useful when kept in balance but it can be destructive when it overwhelms a person's rational thinking. The guiding rule: Because ego is only a tool for your temporary advancement, use it selectively when working toward long term meaningful goals. Fifth, keep a very open mind because what you presentyl think you know and accept as facts should always be open for greater learning. It's always is important to understand that any person's current beliefs should only be another exploration starting point to learn about what remains unknown.

Complacency in life and personal beliefs is always a dead-end road. Instead, consider the inspirational words of the American author Mark Twain: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So explore, dream and discover."

Relax and Travel to the Grand Canyon by Train

The restoration of passenger train travel about twenty years ago to the Grand Canyon National Park restored an old traditional and comfortable way to reach the rim of the Grand Canyon and the hotel accommodations in the park. The rail operator and tour company offers one day round trips although the 3 day - 2 night and 4 day - 3 night packages allow greater opportunities to visit all the attractions of the national park that are not possible by a one day trip.

The Grand Canyon Railway is headquartered in Williams, Arizona. The daily train's basic schedule departs from Williams at 9:00 AM and arrives at the Grand Canyon's South Rim at 11:45 AM. The return trip leaves Grand Canyon at 3:30 PM and arrives back in Williams at 5:45 PM.

The restored passenger train traveling to the Grand Canyon National Park has recreated the comfortable way to reach the rim of the Grand Canyon and the hotel accommodations in the national park. This train travel uses totally modernized passenger cars that were originally built for the major pivate railroads when passenger service was the fastest and best way to travel. Unfortunately, that comfortable way to travel began to decline and effectively ended in the late 1960s.

Since then, Amtrak has consistently provided a smaller, efficient American national passenger rail system. Amtrak's Southwest Chief, Trains 3 and 4, includes a stop at Williams, Arizona that provides the connection with the Grand Canyon Railway. The Southwest Chief which provides passenger on-board services in coaches, sleeping cars, dining cars and lounge cars operating between the end point cities of Chicago and Los Angeles seven days a week. The route includes stops at 31 smaller cities and towns enroute including Kansas City and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Your Daily Attitudes Will Determine Your Best Days

Everyone controls the kind of day they will have by just honestly looking at the attitudes they are projecting to the people around them. The choices everyone makes and results of those choices are going to be verfy obvious. Poor attiudes projected outward result in negative, unhappy days. Good attitudes produce positive rewarding days. It is a basic daily personal choice that affects a person's life and their levels of enjoyment.

Good People Are There When Needed

Beach Goers Save a Pod of Dolphins

For a number of people in Argentina, a quiet day at the beach within minutes turned into a rescue operation when a pod of 30 Dolphins swam onto the beach at Arraial de Cabo near Rio de Janerro, Argentina. For unknown reasons, the pod's leader aimed for the beach and the result was the beaching and stranding of the entier pod. With the lives of the Dolpins in danger, a number of beach-goers quickly moved into action and began pulling the stranded Dolphins from the sand back into deeper water ensuring their survival. Following the rescue of the entire pod, the Dolphins swam back out to sea. For the Dolphins, it fortunately turned out to be: The right beach at the right time of day.

Vision Health - Macular Degeneration

For most people, the ability to see the world around them is taken for granted. But increasingly, for people especially after the age of 55, macular degeneration may be a silent thief stealing their eyesight possibly leaving them increasingly visually impaired.

Macular degeneration is a evolving degenerative eye disease that can result in the loss of vision by spreading outward as a growing black spot from the normal center of vision. As the disease takes hold, according to the Mayo Clinic, "People with macular degeneration may notice either a rapid onset of symptoms, slight symptoms that progress gradually, or no symptoms at all. Doctors may decide to test for the disease based on family history and symptoms the patient is experiencing."

Men's Health - Looking Fit and Being Healthier

Exercise is an important path to good health for everyone. It takes work and dedication for everyone on tight schedules to consistently schedule in the necessary gym time. Once there, it's important that the time at the gym should be put to the best uses by using the best combination of exercise routines. It is no secret that one of the best visual indicators that a man's exercise routine is successful is the steady loss of "the fat stomach" and replacing it with the lean muscles of a six-pack.

A recent Men's Health article written by Adam Campbell said, "The fitness industry is a crazy business, especially when it comes to abs. For example, if you want to reveal your six-pack, you generally have two product choices.

1. The too-easy-to-work method. You know this better as "5-minute abs!" or some such hype. But if this approach were really effective, even Chris Christie would have a washboard.

2. The so-hard-it-has-to-work method. Think 60 to 90 minutes of exercise, 6 days a week. Now if you have the time and energy for this kind of regimen, we commend you. But plenty of people are missing one or the other. And that's just reality, not a cop-out.

So we wondered: Could there be an ab-sculpting program that actually works and is doable for most people? For the answer, we turned to Mike Wunsch, C.S.C.S., and Craig Rasmussen, C.S.C.S., creators of Men's Health's newest fat-loss plan, 24-Hour Abs! The answer: 'Absolutely,' says Wunsch, who teams up with Rasmussen to design the workout programs at Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, California."

The Business Side of Your Life

Is IQ Testing Sufficient?

In today's fast paced world, there is often not enough useful analysis of a person. The easy judgement indicators such as the way a person is dressed, test scores including the vaunted IQ tests or the person's often self-created reputation on social networking websites may not be an adequate overview of a person's character, honesty and ability to perform tasks. Warren Buffet, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway pointed out, "In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you."

Perserverance has always been a very desireable attribute of a person but those same easy indicators already mentioned are also likely to be inadequate. Thomas Edison viewed his own ability to perservere even when success repeatedly eluded him by explaining his long term view, “I didn’t fail 1000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1000 steps.” Would that successful reality be acceptable now in 2012?

A recent article in Forbes Magazine's online edition by Keld Jensen explored predicting any individuals' possible future professional achievement or success by relying on just IQ testing of individuals. One conclusion reached was, "...IQ scores pale in comparison with [results of testing] EQ (emotional intelligence), MQ (moral intelligence), and BQ (body intelligence) scores."

The Enjoyment Side of Your Life

Vacationing At Sea

Ready for a vacation that is different everyday? According to the Cruise Lines International Association, that is easily achieved when you board anyone of dozens of cruise ships sailing from U.S. and Canadian ports to a variety of destinations. Once aboard, your lifestyle is your choice and as the association notes, you can simply "Fall asleep in one destination and awake to a new horizon... and you only have to pack and unpack once!"

Value is on everyone's mind and a cruise ship ticket covers the costs of your cabin, dining, entertainment and more. Many ships now offer alternative restaurants on-board at extra cost but it then gives the passenger greater freedom in menu options and dining times. "Tantalize your taste buds with gourmet fare that showcases exotic ingredients, old standbys like pizza and ice cream or spa cuisine for a healthy alternative." Depending on shipboard guests' preferences the options include dining in a traditional formal dining room setting, a small bistro or a casual eatery noted the cruise association.

The different cruise lines offer a great varity of ship sizes and capacities. They range from ones large enough for a simulation of New York City's Central Park atmosphere to smallery luxury cruise ships where you can swim or snorkel in the clear water when the vessel drops anchor in a quiet island cove. Secluded beaches, dining on your private balcony overlooking the ocean and spa services for two are just some of the romantic pursuits available to enjoy.

Most cruise lines cater to families offering well supervised children's programs, kid-friendly menus and tours of the ship designed to keep the kids happy ad simultaneously giving parents some time alone. For everyone, the variety of daytime activities on board include great spas, swimming pools some with large slides, sightseeing, sports activities, cultural lectures, educational tours led by naturalists and historians or simply lounge by the pool and relax. At night, the entertainment options range from dance extravaganzas, musical revues or gaming in the casino. There is always time and space either on your own balcony or from the open deck to enjoy watching the ocean or a quiet evening gazing at the stars.
