IN TRAINING FOR SUCCESS:

Consider the pursuit of your dreams a major athletic event. Train for it. What we do we become stronger in. That's true mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Physically: Keep fit. What keeps us fit? Exercise.

A good diet. Precisely which constitutes a good diet however, is so controversial that we might open a special chamber of the Gap just to accommodate the many beliefs about nutrition. We can, nonetheless, offer with confidence this diet by Joel Weldon, found on the bulletin board of Dr. William Hellman:

Breakfast:
1/2 grapefruit
1 piece Whole Wheat Toast
8 Oz. Skim Milk

Lunch:
4 Oz. Lean breast of chicken
1 cup steamed zucchini
1 Oreo cookie
1 cup herb tea

Mid-afternoon snack:
Rest of package of Oreo cookies
1 quart Rocky Road Ice Cream
1 jar hot fudge

Dinner:
2 loaves banana bread
1 large pepperoni pizza
1 large pitcher of beer
5 Milky Way bars
1 Frozen cheesecake, eaten directly from the freezer

When things get really crazy, like politics lately, or things in general don't seem to be going in the right direction for me, I can only take so much, so I turn off the TV and look for a book (I have a LOT of books). Came across one I bought several years ago because the author, a cell biologist, cited another book I have, flipped through the pages and it fell open to a page with this quote:

"Your beliefs become your thoughts
Your thoughts become your words
Your words become your actions
Your actions become your habits
Your habits become your values
Your values become your destiny."

-- Mahatma Gandhi

The book: The Biology of Belief, by Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D.

6 lines that summarize my position quite nicely. . . At least until some butt munch has to get in my face and squall like a scalded cat. . . This typically results in my forgetting every single syllable of those 6 lines, and going back to the starting line again. . .
