Greetings

I just wanted to share something from my tax guy. That he sends me once a month from the newsletter. And I thought this was something positive that I wanted to share. For all those who work and those who are looking for work that may can help.

With lots of love always.

4 basic success traits

Too often when we talk about success, we get stuck on titles, salaries, and office sizes. 
We tend to overlook a few basic characteristics necessary to get ahead in life or any profession:

• Self-confidence. You were hired for the job, so even if it’s challenging and you’re being stretched, believe in yourself and your ability to overcome the challenges you face, and grow from the experience.
 
• Interpersonal skills. The most successful people are those willing to get along with their colleagues and collaborate across departments or teams.
 
At least eight hours of your day are spent in the office. Know the names of the people you work with, say “Good morning,” and find the common ground that will help you connect with the people in your workplace, regardless of their position or yours.
 
• A sense of right and wrong. Successful people don’t compromise their values for a paycheck.
 
They know what they stand for and what they won’t stand for, and their integrity is always on display in how they conduct themselves in their workplace and among their colleagues.
 
• Grit. Successful people know that failure isn’t the end of the world, and neither are mistakes—they are minor setbacks or learning opportunities.
 
They possess the willingness to try again, the courage to ask for help, and the drive to keep moving forward toward their goals and objectives.
The business of forgiveness
 
A marketer and a retail merchant, who attended the same church, struck a business deal together. The marketer heard that the merchant wanted to expand his operation, so the marketer offered the merchant a line of credit on goods to be sold in the store.
 
Soon after the merchant had used the line of credit, he fell on hard times. Business was bad, and he was unable to pay off his debts. The marketer was troubled. Not only had his first deal with the merchant gone sour, but now it seemed that he might never recover the thousands of dollars owed to him.
 
In his heart, the marketer knew that the merchant was an honest man who just did not have the resources to settle the debt. The marketer didn’t want to contribute to the ruin of the merchant, so he followed his heart and forgave the debt. Soon afterward, the merchant went bankrupt and closed his store.
 
Years passed. One day, the daughter of the bankrupt merchant visited the marketer. She offered him a small diamond-studded bracelet—a family heirloom—as partial payment for her father’s debt.
 
The marketer explained to the woman that the debt had been long forgiven. But the woman insisted that he accept the offering—if not as payment, then as a token of appreciation. The marketer humbly accepted.
 
Several days later, he took the bracelet to a jeweler to be appraised and was astonished to learn that its value equaled the amount of the merchant’s debt. The marketer returned to his office and entered “Paid in Full” into his ledger—next to the merchant’s name.
Health in the News
 
Temperatures are falling—in your body
Most people think the average body temperature for humans is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. However, as the HealthDay website points out, that’s not quite the case. In fact, it seems to be going down.
 
The 98.6 degrees standard was established in 1851. A recent study of 25,000 British citizens, though, marked the average as 97.9. Another study of more than 677,000 temperature measurements recorded in the United States between 1862 and 2017 found that the average body temperature of men born since 2000 is 1.1 degree lower than in men born in the early 19th century.
 
Similarly, body temperatures for women born in the 2000s were, on average, about 0.6 degrees below that of women born in the 1890s. That adds up to a decrease of 0.05 degrees every decade since the 1800s.
 
Scientists speculate that improved health care and hygiene over time may have produced a reduction in the average metabolic rate, leading to an overall decline in inflammation, which tends to increase one’s body temperature.
 
Obesity affects teen brains
Obesity is a problem at any age, but a new study suggests it has specific risks for teenagers. As the U.S. News & World Report website explains, advanced MRI techniques show that obese teens tend to have less integrity in the white matter of their brains (white matter contains fibers that connect different parts of the brain). The lower white matter integrity was observed in the region of the brain associated with emotional control and reward seeking.
 
The study looked at 120 teenagers, and its findings are considered preliminary. Researchers speculate that excess body fat damages the brain through inflammation. The study found a correlation between higher levels of inflammatory substances in the blood and lower white matter integrity.
 
Excess body fat can contribute to inflammation. The teens whose brains were affected tended to have higher levels of leptin, which is involved in appetite control, in their blood, as well as insulin, which regulates the body’s blood sugar.
 
Doctors point out that obesity has many causes and shouldn’t be dismissed as a simple lack of willpower about eating. It’s unclear at this point whether obesity is responsible for the change in white matter integrity, or vice versa—or a combination of both.
Exercise lowers depression risk
 
An article on the MedicineNet website reports that 35 minutes of exercise a day could help lower the risk of depression, even among people with a genetic predisposition for it.
 
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital analyzed two years’ worth of medical records and genetic information from 8,000 people. The data showed that people with a higher genetic risk were likely to be diagnosed with depression within two years, but physically active people with the same score—or even a higher one—were less likely to suffer from depression. For every four hours of exercise a week, the risk of depressive episodes decreased by 17%. Both intense, aerobic workouts and low-intensity practices like stretching and yoga showed the same effect.
 
Getting active may be the key to mental as well as physical well-being.
Talk it out

One of the best things a parent can do with their child is establish a good habit of two-way communication. To create an environment that encourages them to share their thoughts and feelings, be prepared to:
• Listen without judgment and answer their questions honestly and without bias.
 
• Help them find solutions to their problems and teachable moments in their mistakes.
 
• Respond mindfully during upsetting times.
 
• Respect their need for privacy, and recognize that talking things over with a counselor or licensed professional might be the best option at certain times.
 
Establishing this sort of rapport with your children from an early age will help to create a foundation of trust and understanding in your relationship. As the years progress, they will be more likely to seek your counsel instead of withholding secrets from you.
