Top 12 Benefits for Starting a Gratitude Journal

The reason why most of us are unhappy is because we miss the little things in life that we can be grateful for. This is where a gratitude journal really helps us. If we can write down all the things that we are grateful for at the end of each day then we can really see what our life is made of. Where your focus goes your energy flows. So if we begin to focus on being grateful we will find that we have so much more to be happy about in our lives rather than focusing on the negeative. So think about starting a gratitude journal.

5 Steps for teaching your kid entrepreneurship

5 Steps for Teaching Your Kid Entrepreneurship

I have always be so fortunate to grow up with a dad that was already an entrepreenur. He never owned a large company or a ran a corporation, but he was always an entrepreneur. My dad owned a corner store and later became a bathroom attendant. He taught me so much about business and how to always be the best in all that you can do. All the intial lessons I learned about business I learned from my dad. He only had a 9th grade education but he is a genious in math and common sense. The one thing that we must know is that our society is only equipped to educate our children to become employees, not to become innovators. We must foster that idea. We must support our children and show them how to live out their dreams. We must allow them to make the mistakes and grow and learn to be the best they can and never be afraid of all that they can be. Check out this article and help your kids be the best.

Vegetables are complete proteins

I am sure that I am going to get some great messages from my animal protein friends for posting this article. However, I have been a professional athlete since 2001 and I have eaten a regular diet and for the last 6 years I have been vegan. I have more muscle mass now than I have ever had before. So the idea that plant protein is no good and cannot build muscle is a comeplete fallicy. For so long we have believed, many people still believe, that plants are not complete and wont give you the nutrients that you need. Check out this new research and some studies that show the complete opposite. When it comes down to it I just want people to be as healthy as possible. Whether you eat meat or plants, just be healthy and disease free.

10 Best And Worst Cardio Machines

To start off this article letme just say that I completely detest cardio machines. Not only are they boring, but they lead us into a false sense of security. We think all we need to do is jump on the treadmill and spend an hour or so running and we will lose weight, build endurance, and be more fit. The truth is that this simply isn't enough. This is why people spend everyday on the treadmill and never see any real change. There has to be more than that. We have to continually challenge our bodies to have real change and to continue to keep growing. So take this article for what it is, a rating of cardio machines and then go an kill a great functional workout in a real environment.

10 Meat-Free Protein Sources That Are Totally Underrated

We have this mistaken idea that the only way that we can get our protein is from meat sources. Which is an amazing amount of marketing, because many of the largest animals in the world only eat vegetables. We think that the best way is to eat tons of meat, when in reality it is very hard for our bodies to break down and convert the meat that we eat. This is not to say that I believe that everyone should be vegan or vegetarian because I don't believe that. However, I do believe that the more plant based that we can be the better our health will be. So check out these ways to get your plant based protein.

Lots of times we think this is impossible. We have been told all our lives that to make money you have to spend money.

However, I also know that it is possible to launch a business without spending anything. Currently we are still trying to build Warrior Vacations from a hobby to a full fledged business.
