Knowledge is power, and so is Diversity!

In Discriminate or Diversify, Ruiz explores our history of discrimination, provides informed profiles on the many groups of people that make our world so interesting and exciting, and offers solutions for how to build a culture of Diversity and Inclusion in your organization. When you can see through the invisible, you can achieve the impossible!
How To Move From Just Existing to Personal Abundance! Why does only 5 percent of the population attain phenomenal success while many others lead lives of quiet desperation? Is it luck? Genes? Age? Environment? Nope. Most people dream of success but, as they grow older, settle into believing that life got in the way, that their unfulfilled dreams and unachieved goals were simply not meant to be. Not true. It is a matter of choice and of persistence, coupled with dogged determination in the face of obstacles, setbacks and failures. Success, when you've scaled the mountain and really earned it, is so much sweeter. And wishing for success and committing yourself to it are two very different things. So, are you a Wisher or a Washer, or just plain Wishy-Washy?
There are THREE types of individuals. Wishers, Washers and... Wishy-Washy's. 5% of the population are Washers and they succeed! Find out how you can become one of them.
Isn't falling in love grand - the butterflies, the passion, the best behavior, the promise of a shining future? But we are not perfect people and we do not lead blissfully perfect, fairy-tale lives. Over time, disappointment, disagreements, misunderstandings, busy schedules and lost opportunities can shatter our marital bliss. But it doesn't have to be that way. Relationships don't just fall apart one day. There are always signs - pretty common sense stuff that, when we neglect to consider in our relationships, invariably degenerates our bonds. But common sense is not always common, especially when emotions run high. Lost Love will help you identify and focus on the things (big and small) that can slowly tear your love apart - so that you know what warning signs to look for and to avoid. Plus, find out how to reignite your bruised relationship.
Children understand far more than most adults give them credit for. As a society, we teach children how to do things and the difference between right and wrong. We answer their questions (as much as possible) about what and why things are. But children are also capable of understanding much deeper life principles - like the importance of building character, how to make decisions, the consequences of relying on others to make their dreams come true and the value of their word. In this story of a group of children who gather for an overnight camping trip that changes their young lives, The "W" Characters gets these messages across in a fun, easy-to-read presentation that they'll want to read again and again.
Positive Mental Attitude
PSYCHE (Psychology)
The Psyche was the Greek concept of the self, encompassing the modern ideas of soul, self, and mind. The Greeks believed that the soul or "psyche" was responsible
for behavior.
"The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same."
Carlos Castaneda Was an anthropologist and author
The philosophy of having a positive mental attitude is the belief that one can increase achievement through optimistic thought processes, having a vision
of good-natured change in the mind. Positive Psychology is a relatively young branch of psychology that studies the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.

How to Get Happy at Harvard University offers the following six tips for happiness:
1. Give yourself permission to be human. When we accept emotions -- such as fear, sadness, or anxiety -- as natural, we are more likely to overcome them.
Rejecting our emotions, positive or negative, leads to frustration and unhappiness.
2. Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning. Whether at work or at home, the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable. When this is not feasible, make sure you have happiness boosters, moments throughout the week that provide you with both pleasure and meaning.
3. Keep in mind that happiness is mostly dependent on our state of mind, not on our status or the state of our bank account. Barring extreme circumstances, our level of well being is determined by what we choose to focus on (the full or the empty part of the glass) and by our interpretation of external events. For example, do we view failure as catastrophic, or do we see it as a learning opportunity?
4. Simplify! We are, generally, too busy, trying to squeeze in more and more activities into less and less time. Quantity influences quality, and we compromise on our happiness by trying to do too much.
5. Remember the mind-body connection. What we do -- or don't do -- with our bodies influences our mind. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and healthy eating habits lead to both physical and mental health.
6. Express gratitude, whenever possible. We too often take our lives for granted. Learn to appreciate and savor the wonderful things in life, from people to food, from nature to a smile.

within your own body?
"Music may be one of the best de-stressors -- either by playing or even listening to music... The inner lining of the blood vessel relax, open up and produce chemicals that are protective to the heart."

YOU ARE YOUR WEALTH Extracted from the One Minute Millionaire.
Invisible assets are the real source for all the wealth we possess. See where you stand with your own personal "enlightened" balance sheet:
Internal Assets
Internal Liabilities
Creativity, Imagination
Anger, Small-Mindedness
Vision, Generosity
Perfectionism, Pettiness
Courage, Boldness, Persistence, Integrity
Fear, Anxiety, Hesitancy
Expert connections and customer databases
Bad Reputation
Valuable skills: Selling, Persuasion, Marketing
Laziness
Time Management
Poor organization
Evaluate where you are on this balance sheet and just like on a financial balance sheet... you should have more internal assets than internal liabilities for a POSITIVE net worth.
Many people carry the weight of yesterday's regret on their shoulders. Likewise, tomorrow's intentions also weigh them down. As a result, they trudge
through today with little energy, emotion, and happiness. Never make that mistake. Shed yourself of all regret and intentions ... live for TODAY! Make the right choices
today, every day. Dr. Mark Stengler helps ease your load.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG Author unknown
Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'
Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
Enjoy the simple things.
Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
