Power of A Decision for Peak Performance
"What you do, think, and say or not say makes a significant difference."
- Raj Gavurla
Why are making great decisions important? Because it provides clarity. What are three decisions you can make today that would make you a better home and work life?
Here are mine:
1. Decide to win
This isn't being ultra competitive. It means your focused on winning in your home and work life.
2. Exercise and eat right everyday
I do a variety of exercise without going through the motions. It does wonders for my mindset. For example, I go for fast walks, tennis, basketball, soccer, yoga, do the elliptical and lift weights, play kickball, flag football, swim, and really stretch after warming up and after exercise. I'm getting the pain out of my shoulders and knees with extensive stretching and weight lifting. Eating right means eating foods that resonate with your body chemistry. For example, although grapes are fruit and fruit is good for me for whatever reason my body doesn't react well. Therefore, I don't eat grapes. I've done this with other foods and at a later time my body reacts well. My guess is my body chemistry changed. See and feel the significant difference this makes in your home and work life.
3. Strive for peak performance in my home and work life
What else is there? Peak performance is an exciting goal and a target. It's not constantly done by me, however, by having it as a goal it gives me a target. Having a target makes it easier for me to peak perform. Without a target I peak perform less. What is peak performance for me probably isn't peak performance for you. Just raise your game. It'll create endorphins (natural high).
For example, maybe you can shoot ten free throws in a row. So striving to increase that and doing it is peak performance. However, a friend of yours can shoot twenty free throws in a row. For them to peak perform they would strive for a number higher than twenty.
You can peak perform in your home life by deciding to take the family to the park to play and have a picnic or to an exciting vacation spot.
How are you peak performing at work? Are you striving for a promotion, capable of doing something faster because of the intelligent work (right practice) you've done, or increased your presentation skills. You've added to your skill set. This allows your company and you to grow.

Mood Up
"It takes an input to change a negative to a positive (mood up)." - Raj Gavurla
I attended a college football game won by a field goal on the last play. During the game, the home team was behind and it was getting worse. This threw the crowd's mood off. The atmosphere in the stadium was not what the team including the home crowd wanted. However, there was time in the game and fortunately to get the mood up the person running the PA decided to play an upbeat tune. Immediately, the mood
was up and the players and crowd responded. What happened? By inputing an upbeat tune it reenergized the stadium's atmosphere to put the team in the right mindset. Since mindset controls the mood (the way you feel, bottom line, or action) the team (players) came back and won the game.
What input are you implementing during the work day or in your family life to keep the mood up? I'm not saying to blast a song throughout the office or home, although, it may work to your delight. However, there are many types of inputs (tip, add a tool, care, humor, take your pick), to get your team or colleague in the right mindset to get the mood up to produce results. This sure would make work a lot better. Or, you can do nothing and just think you don't need one another. Which do you prefer? I prefer to input to change a negative to a positive (mood up).
It is well worth it. Hope to hear from you.

Dreams Come True: Win Baby, Win!
It brings a whole new meaning to the team "veteran player". This month a 61-year old Vietnam veteran is set to become the oldest player in NAIA college football.
Grandfather-of-five Alan Moore, who is 62 in February, has secured himself a spot as a place-kicker on the team at Faulkner University in Alabama.
"I'm having a ball." Alan Moore, the 61-year-old Vietnam veteran who is set to become the oldest ever player in NAIA college football.
Old timer: Mr. Moore first kicked off as a freshman at Jones Community College, Mississippi in 1968.
"There's certainly a generational gap with the kids," Mr. Moore told the New York Daily News yesterday.
"They call me a little bit of everything: "grandpa", "old man", "old school", "pops", "grand-daddy".
"But I don't mind it. I eat it up. I'm having a ball."
Mr. Moore first kicked off as a freshman at Jones Community College, Mississippi, in 1968, but his college football career was cut short when he was drafted.
After an 11-month tour with the infantry, he came home and went straight into a job in construction. Where he worked until retiring to an avocado farm in Homestead, Florida.
Generation gap: Mr. Moore trains with his Faulkner teammates. He says they call him "grand-daddy" among other teasing nicknames.
He has joined the Eagles, who compete in the Mid South conference, after a year with Holmes Community College in Mississippi.
Mr. Moore had hoped to return to his alma mater but, after a 42-year gap between classes, the school was not interested in taking him on.
Now he is hoping to earn a starting place with Faulkner when the small Christian college opens its season against Ave Maria of Florida on September 10.
"You look at it, it's like, from what I'm told, I'm the oldest person to play", a delighted Mr. Moore told the Birmingham News.
"To bring that to Faulkner, doesn't take just me, it takes coaches (and) the institution."
Veteran player: Mr. Moore hoofs the pigskin over the goal posts at Faulkner. His season is set to kick off on September 10.
It will be only the third time that someone of Mr. Moore's years has competed in any college athletics contest.
Austin (Texas) college kicker Tom Thompson was 61 when he kicked off once for the NCAA Division III school in 2009.
But Mr. Moore will have some time to go to beat the record, set by 73-year-old Ken Mink, a basketballer with Roane State Community College in East Tennessee.
But Mr. Moore's key hope not to pursue sport, but continue his education. He wants people to understand that nurturing youth is the best hope for the future.
"Spend money on education instead of incarceration." he said.

Continual Advancements In Humanness, Medicine, and Technology
To raise the standard of work and living it’s clear to me there must be continual advancements in humanness, medicine, and technology. What is your action plan to win, make more money, and grow to make lives better?
We need to create more jobs to stimulate the economy. This means increasing intelligence through education, access, transparency, and the assembling of delivery models to reach people faster and on demand. By striving for talent acquisition and winning their services through advancements in humanness we’ll not only lead an economic rise, our families and youth will grow stronger locally and abroad. Entrepreneurship and government (the people) investing in research in addition to collaboration with other countries can excite people towards a better living, if you will.
List three ways your company is advancing humanness:
Through advancements in medicine we can make a healthier and more productive workforce, prolong productive life, and even live beyond years we may think is unimaginable. The key is reaching people through delivery models on demand for not only life saving outcomes but for life enhancing outcomes. A longer life span of work/life balance surely gives us more ammunition to make lives better locally and abroad. We see technology assisting humanness and medicine in leveling the playing field for more to prosper.
List three ways your company is advancing the use of medicine:
By using technology we are able to reach people much faster and in areas where both can benefit from services and products. There are many past examples. However, what are you doing to create an example that has a much larger impact?
Be creative and focus on leading through continual advancements in humanness, medicine, and technology to make lives better. Surely, the economy, pay, and your investment balance will rise. For those who want to lead this revolution, there will be high returns on investment and the satisfaction you are making lives better. Of course, it has to work (produce better results).
List three ways your company is advancing its use of technology:
History has shown how we’ve advanced in humanness, medicine, and technology. What the future shows is by continually doing so you win, make more money, and grow to make lives better. What is your mindset (what you think or the way you think?), mood (the way you feel, bottom line, or action), and motivation (the top line or what is your motivation?) to make this happen?
Every job has a percentage of humanness, medicine, and technology. What are you doing to increase productivity and profitability by increasing the percentages? It would make lives better.

Your Health and Winning
If you're not 100% healthy, imagine what it would be like to be 100% healthy. Your productivity and performance would increase and you would feel vibrant and have more fun.
Don't think it's bad luck that is causing the problem. There is a solution even if you have a chronic illness or disease. You just need to know how to deal with it to empower yourself.
People you see doing amazing things do so because they work on their health as well as working intelligently hard on their craft. It's not 100% natural although it may appear so. You may be able to do what they are doing or create your own path.
Recently one of the ways I'm enhancing myself is through supplements and nutrition. There's no reason I should feel tired through most of the second half of the day or not sleep regularly. Also if there are problems with alertness and even cognition there may be a simplae supplement you can take. This gives your body what it needs to function naturally so you can focus on your craft.
Either you can beat yourself up (I don't recommend this) or recognize by listening to your body to give it what it needs. There is a deficiency therefore fill it and watch your performance and mindset soar. Don't think you are struggling because you are less talented.
It takes intelligence about yourself to improve your mindset and motivation to go to another New Best Level. Your mood will be much better and you'll have more options and weapons to be successful.
For base supplements to address the mindset:

- Start with low dose of Omega -3 fish oil (if it feels good then increase to recommended dosage)
- Vitamin D 2000 IU to 4000 IU
