WHAT WE GET WHEN WE GIVE

By Christine Carter, PHD Did you know that kinder people actually live longer, healthier lives? People who volunteer tend to experience fewer aches and pains. Giving help to others protects overall health.

The Idea of Winning

Sunday Evening was the big football game of the year, most of us sat in front of the television with our friends and family cheering on our favorite team. The super bowl is more than just a fun game of football. Taking a look deeper into the team, it takes a lot more than strength, good tactics and cheering fans to win a game. Each player must have the idea of teamwork, discipline and most importantly, the idea of winning. From the thoughts in his brain to his toes, each part of his body, mind & soul must work together to win. One who strives everyday to win & complete his tasks the right way will win.
