Count Your Blessings

This morning I was blessed to wake up in America! Sure the economy is slow, the stock market is tumbling and we are firmly planted in the midst of a recession. But is it really that bad? Or are we actually blessed beyond measure?In Sudan, women and children sleep in fear. There is GENOCIDE in Darfur happening right now! Men are conscripted into the military and forced to rape children and murder innocent women. Villages are burned to the ground and families are scattered into the desert without food or water.

You are blessed.
You are blessed.
You are blessed.


Please count your blessing and make the most of them. Love more! Care more! Be patient. Be humble and be your best!

I'm blessed in so many ways and I hope that you are too. I have the ability to read and write. I have a family that loves me and great friends that truly care. I'm blessed to live in a nation where Freedom rings!

Think of how blessed you are! You're reading this on the Internet! Worldwide, roughly 1 in 5 people are illiterate! And less than 23% have regular access to the Internet! If you are reading this, you are blessed.

In America, we often get so bogged down being negative. We look at everything we don't have and become unhappy. Start looking and what you do have and REJOICE. Everyday you wake up in AMERICA is a blessing. Make it count. Make it your masterpiece! Do something that really matters.

Find a way to help others. It's easy, you can go for a walk and smile at every person you see. Smiles are contagious and they bring instant happiness. You can brighten the lives of others just by smiling!

If you need a reason to smile, think about how blessed you truly are!

You are blessed.

Best,
Chris Krueger

Whistle While You Work

In director David Lean's epic film, The Bridge on the River Kwai, British POW's are forced to build a bridge for their Japanese captors during WWII.
In the film the British soldiers are faced with very unpleasant conditions at their POW camp. They are slaves to the Japanese, but they refuse to see themselves as such. They maintain their dignity by taking pride in their craftsmanship of the bridge. They literally whistle while they work. They see themselves as soldiers making the best of their situation, rather than slaves suffering at the hands of their enemy.

During the POWER-10 Challenge it is your duty to yourself to make the best of your situation. TSCers train 6 mornings per week (for 20-30 minutes). It's your choice to either slave through your training or to figuratively "whistle while you work." Choose to view yourself as an empowered individual in the process of an inspiring transformation. Take pride in crafting a fit, healthy, wonderful body and in making the best of your situation, remember, it's not where you start, but rather where you finish that counts.
