Michael Phelps Rio2016

   Michael Phelps Rio2016

 Michael Phelps gears up for the honor of carrying the U.S. flag this month as he will compete in his fifth Olympic Games set in Rio de Janeiro. Phelps is the first swimmer to be the flag bearer since Gary Hall in 1976. Phelps says, "I'm honored to be chosen, proud to represent the U.S., and humbled by the significance of carrying the flag and all it stands for." He is the most decorated Olympian of all time with 22 medals.

 Michael Phelps came away with his 13th individual gold medal last night at the 200-meter individual medley. He became the first swimmer to win gold in the same event at four consecutive Olympics, but that wasn't the only record he broke. According to The New York Times, he also possesses the most individual gold medals EVER breaking a record dating back all the way to 152 B.C.

 What if Michael Phelps was a woman? Would she be as celebrated? Would she be on the Wheaties Box? CNN writer, Mel Robbins posed that question to point out the sexism that subtly exists and always has. When a man wins we say good job, when a woman wins we say how did she do that? It's not overt but it's there. If Michelle Phelps existed we would probably be talking about her stint in rehab and we would wonder if she is a good mother to her kids if she's always in the pool.

Are You Really Ready to Change?

Are You Really Ready to Change?   How do you feel when you look at your life right now – how your day has been lived, the way you look, the things you’ve done and are doing, where you are, the people you’re around, the life you’ve laid, the thoughts that surround you? If there are things you want to change in any part of your life there’s something you need to know. And it’s not pretty: Change isn’t for everyone. Change isn’t easy. But hang on…I don’t mean that the process of change isn’t easy. That’s the cakewalk part – when we do the ground work and are ready to move the process becomes far easier than we ever imagined. Trust me, I’ve experienced that myself – having lost half my body weight, broken out of the ‘corporate cage’, creating my own business, left a safe but unfulfilling marriage and moved countries – AND I’ve seen it happen as if my magic in the lives of my clients. No, that’s not the hard bit. The hard bit comes before the actual cha...

Along the way I have picked up a variety of tips that I have incorporated into my daily routine to make life happier, healthier, and more productive. Here are 50 of my favorites: 1. Start with the fundamentals: if you want to live a great life, start by getting the fundamentals right. Examples of what I consider the “fundamentals” include an open mind and a willingness to change. If you would like to read more, check out my article 30 Fundamentals of a Wonderful Life (it was one of my most popular in 2017). 2. Fail regularly: this year I achieved a lot, but I still don’t believe I failed enough. “What? Are you crazy?” you may be thinking. Let me explain. Put simply, I believe that failure is the price of ambition. If you a...
