The Power of Execution: Why Intention is Never Enough.

Having every intention to do something is a wonderful notion, but it doesn’t get things done. In fact, it barely acts as a catalyst any longer. That’s because the world has opened up more and more over the past few years, and there is so much more that we would like to do that the matter of intention is compromised by the lack of attention we can give any one thing.
Essentially, we’re swamped.
It’s been said that there is a certain power behind having intent. In fact, Dr. wayne Dyer wrote a book called The Power of Intention that speaks to that. Dyer describers intention as follows:

“Intention is not something you do, but rather a force that exists in the universe as an invisible field of energy- a power that can carry us. It’s the difference between motivation and inspiration. Motivation is when you get hold of an idea and don’t let

7 Factors to Consider Before Becoming a Pet Owner.

1. Time for a Pet
Many pets like puppies and kittens are so cute that many people can’t resist bringing them home. However, the realities of pet ownership soon set in when one realizes the great responsibilities involved in their care. One of these responsibilities is the time required for pets.
The most common domestic pets such as dogs and cats require considerable time for them. This is especially the case for dogs as they are not happy if left alone for long periods of time. If you can’t devote enough daily time to play and interact with your pet, do not get one that requires a lot of time.
Consider pets that are less time demanding such as fish. But remember, you still need time to clean and maintain fish tanks. So part of your research should be looking at the amount of time and maintenance required for each type of pet. Be totally honest with yourself as to just how much time you can devote to a pet.

2. Cost of Pet Care
Some pets like dogs, cats and birds can have significant health costs, especially if they get ill or injured. Talk to existing pet owners to find out what their average annual veterinary costs are.
You don’t want to be in a position where you can’t afford the regular and unexpected vet costs for a pet. It is so unfortunate when pet owners have to give up their animals just because they can’t afford the cost of pet care. If these innocent

6 Steps to Get the Best Hospital Care

It is assumed that everyone who walks through the doors of a hospital will get the same quality of care. The reality is that the hospital is a system like any other—with imperfect people, inefficiencies, misconceptions, and miscommunication. Before you find yourself taking a planned or unplanned trip to the hospital, there are a few things you can do to get the best hospital care.
1. Be your best advocate
The patient-provider interaction is undergoing an unprecedented change as information becomes increasingly accessible to the general public. You are the most important person in charge of your health; be proactive in taking care of yourself. Read books and search the Internet, however evaluate the source of any information. Realize that misinformation may be deliberate or unintentional. For rare conditions, you may become more educated than non-specialist providers who may have never encountered or experienced your diagnosis.
2. Don’t leave home without it
One of the important pieces of information obtained in any hospital admission is a list of medications the patient is taking. Patients unable to remember their medications may encounter potentially harmful complications. Realize that your memory may not be optimal in a stressful emergency department, especially if you are anxious or in pain.

How to Maintain a Blog AND a Full-Time Job.

If you’re like me, you can’t spend every waking moment of every day writing, editing, polishing, Tweeting, and enjoying the fruits of your hard work.
You have a life.
For me, that looks like a steady 9-5 job, during which I work on other stuff–my blog, writing, and life must take a back seat if I want to take home a paycheck.
So how can you maintain both? Losing sanity, to me, is not acceptable–I don’t want to pull my hair out trying to get everything done at once. And I really don’t want to lose any sleep–I’m a sleepaholic.
I’ve found that the best way to maintain an active lifestyle and steady job, while still consistently push out great content, is to plan better.
Specifically, planning the parts of the day that most people forget about.
Instead of:
Wake up at 6.
Go to work at 8.
Work until lunch. Take a one-hour break.
