NEWMAN WINS DAYTONA 500, VIRGINIA WINS




In a bit of an upset Ryan Newman won yesterdays Daytona 500 edging his Penskee teammate Kurt Busch to pick up the win. Nobody even mentioned Newmans name all week as a favorite, next week the Sprint Cup Series will be at the California Speedway. The Virginia Cavaliers may try get the ACC to put Boston College more than twice a year, the only two wins the Cavaliers have in the ACC are two win against the Eagles. Well today is Presidents Day which means all government workers are off today, I wonder which holiday they will create next give these government workers another day off. It feels like it is spring again today here in CH, at 6am the temperature is 63 degrees and it's suppose to get to 65 before the temp starts dropping this afternoon. Well it's to bad baseball practice doesn't start today, we have to wait one more week before we can start practice. MICKEY

Nothing so conclusively proves a man's ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.

FITNESS TIP
Consistency is the key, start out light and commit to two workouts per week. It doesn't seem as demanding so you won't start making excuses not to go. Two days a week adds up in a year. Plus, if you start feeling stronger and healthier, you may want to go more often anyway.

Decide and do
The route to success in any area of life can be summed up in a simple, easy-to-remember formula. Decide what you wish to do, and then do it.

That may seem entirely obvious, and indeed it is. Yet even though the path to success is so clear and simple, many people have great difficulty following it.

The decision of what to do can be greatly hindered by doubts, fears, insecurities and worries, as well as by confusion over priorities. To get past all that, remember that every doubt is a creation of your own mind, and deep within you is an authentic purpose that can transcend any challenge.

When it comes to taking action, there can be all sorts of justifications and excuses for not doing so. To move forward anyway, it's important to keep in mind that every moment is an opportunity to create value for your life and your world.

When you choose to do nothing with this moment, the opportunity it contains is gone forever, never to return. Choose instead to invest yourself in effective action, and the potential value of this moment is transformed into real, actual, lasting value in your life.

Decide how you can best express the values and dreams that mean so much to you. Then take step after step to successfully bring your decisions to life.
