 The
secret to developing great abs lies in treating your
body as a complete unit. Don't make the mistake doing
hundreds of repetitions of abdominal exercises in the
hope of getting a flat abdominal region. For best
results with abdominal muscle exercises, remember to eat
a healthy diet and perform aerobic exercise 3 times a
week in addition to abdominal exercises. Watch your diet
and lose that extra body fat. The best abdominal muscles
in the world may be hidden by a stubborn layer of body
fat.

Growing challenge
 No
matter how magnificently you may arrange your life, no
matter what level of wealth, power, position or respect
you may attain there will always be challenges for you
to face. In fact, the higher you climb, the more
daunting the challenges usually become. Fortunately,
your ability to prevail against challenge also increases
with every accomplishment.
There will always be challenge and right along with it,
opportunity. There will always be the need for strength,
for courage, for focus and perseverance.
Those who put off facing the challenges until "someday"
find that the someday never comes. Those who wait for
the right moment of doing something about their
situation, will find things getting worse and worse.
Meet each challenge as quickly and as competently as you
can. There will be another one right behind it. And as
you work your way through them all, you'll find yourself
fully alive. Success comes not from the absence of
challenge, but from the ever-increasing ability to
benefit from it. |
