There was once an old wise man who live on top of
a mountain. Whenever the villagers had a problem,
they would climb up the mountain and ask the old
man for advice.
One day a young man decided to climb up and ask
the old man a question.
“Wise man,” he asked, “What makes a man truly
great?”
The old man looked at him and said, “Do you
sincerely want to know?”
“Yes, yes!” the young man replied the wise man.
“Well,” the wise old man said to him, “Let me tell
you in the form of a story”
There was once a Greek man who suffered from a
deadly disease. Knowing that he will die soon, he
was the first to join the army when his country was
in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in battle,
he would fight in the front line, exposing himself
without any worry for his life. Eventually they won
the battle and he was still alive. His general was so
impressed with his bravery which contributed much
to the victory.
The general decided to promote him and award him
with medals of bravery and honor. On the day of
presentation, he was looking very down and sad.
Curiously, the general asked him the reason why and
was told of his deadly disease. “How could I let
such a brave soldier die?”, the general thought. So
the general hired the best physician and finally
cured the soldier. But from that day onwards, the
once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front.
He would always avoid danger and tries his best to
avoid danger and protect his life.
“Young man”, he wise man said, “if you want to be
truly great, you must not be scared of dying, you
must be daring.”
Fear not that life shall come to an end, but rather
fear that it shall never have a beginning.

Cracked Heels: Cracked heels are a sign of lack of attention to foot care rather than just overexposure or lack of moisturizing. Medically, cracked heels are also known as heel fissures. Fissures are regular linear cut wounds and mostly affect the surface level which comprises of the epidermis. Sometimes it may get deep into the dermis and become painful. Excessive pressure on the feet pads make the feet want to expand sideways. As the skin, surrounding the sides of the feet are dry they crack and cause cracked heels. Appearances of dry cracked heels also indicate zinc and omega-3 fatty acid deficiency. Though cracks in the skin may arise anywhere in the body the most common is area is the rim of the heel and web of toes, which happen to be the most frequently or constantly used parts of our body. Dry skin or xerosis is one of the most common causes that lead to cracked heels .The other key reason being thick or callus skin around the rim of the heel. Most of the foot problems arise due to neglect and oversight with regard to feet care. Cracked feet, corns and other common feet ailments can be attended to and are easily avoidable. Cracked heels are not a harmful in anyway except when the fissures or cracks are deep, and tend to become painful and the skin begins to bleed. This could lead to infection and is an avoidable situation mostly for those already suffering from chronic ailments such as diabetes or lowering immune system due to age or illness which may retard the treatment of cracked heels. Cracked heels are a common occurrence for senior citizens or people who are constantly on their feet thus exerting pressure on the feet pad. In addition to this, sebum production decreases with age and so seniors tend to suffer from dry and cracked heels. Excessively dry skin, peeling skin, and dry and cracked skin on the heels are some of the most common skin problems that seniors face. Dry skin on the heels is often a recurrent problem. It can affect either both the heels or one of the heel. But most commonly, cracked heels affect both the feet.

If you need to get rid of a long piece of dead sin you can use a small pair of scissors to slowly and carefully clip away the dead skin. • Itchy Skin: Itchy skin is caused by the abnormal shrinking of the upper layers of dry skin.

But it is important to note that when home remedies do not cure cracked heels it is wise to take an appointment with your general physician. You can also consult him/her for further information on dry cracked heels causes, treatment, and prevention. Here is a compilation of the best known remedies to treat cracked heels: • Apply any shortening or hydrogenated vegetable oil after washing the feet clean on dry and cracked areas of the feet. After applying a thick coat of shortening on the feet, wear a pair of thick socks. Leaving this application overnight can surely provide positive results in few days. • Apply the pulp of a ripe banana on the dry or cracked area of the heel. Leave it on for 10 minutes and rinse it clean. This is a simple dry cracked heels home remedy and it can be used on a daily basis to prevent and treat dry and cracked heels.

Furthermore, the woolen socks will help to trap your body heat and this will increase the effectiveness of the mixture as more of it will be absorbed by your skin. You can exfoliate your skin before and after you use this mixture. The oils in this mixture will help to soften dry and cracked heels and this will allow you to easily slough off the dead skin the next morning. • A regular application of a mixture of glycerin and rosewater is known to soothe and cure cracked heels. • Another result oriented solution is to melt paraffin wax and mix it well with little mustard oil.

Avoid harsh cosmetic exfoliating scrubs and instead you can make your own gentle and natural scrub with honey, apple cider vinegar, and rice flour. You will fist have to grind a handful of rice until your get a fine but coarse flour. After that, add a few spoons of raw honey to the mixture along with enough apple cider vinegar to obtain a thick paste. If the cracks are very deep, you can add a spoon of olive oil or sweet almond oil to the paste. Soak your feet for 20 minutes and then gently massage them with this paste. The vinegar in this cracked heel treatment will help to dissolve the thickened layers of dead skin while the rice flour will gently abrade the top layer of dead skin. Honey and olive oil act as natural moisturizers and will help to keep the skin on your feet soft and moisturized and this will prevent further cracking. • Many cracked heel repair creams that are avoidable in the market today contain chemicals that can aggravate your skin and increase discomfort. You can make your own moisturizing cracked heel cream by mixing together a spoon of olive oil along with a few drops of lemon oil or lavender oil. Pour this blend of oils into a small bottle and add an equal amount of water to it. Shake the contents thoroughly so that the water and oil form a thick milky solution. Use this homemade remedy for dry cracked heels as and when it is needed. Make sure that you shake the solution before you use it. Consume a Diet Rich in Calcium, Iron, Zinc and Omega-3 Fats Cracked heels are caused by deficiency of vitamins, minerals, zinc and omega 3 fatty acids. Therefore it is essential to have a diet rich in vitamins, minerals and zinc. Omega-3 fatty acids are not naturally produced by the body, therefore it has to be ingested from food or supplements. Here is list of essential foods that one can include in a regular meal and help curb deficiencies that may cause cracked heels: • Vitamins (Vitamin E) rich foods include: vegetable oils, green vegetables, cereals, wheat germ, whole- grain products and nuts. • Minerals (Calcium and Iron) rich foods include : 1. Calcium: Milk, cheese, yogurt, goat’s milk, fortified soya milk, mineral water, ice cream, tinned fish, juices, cereals and broccoli are excellent sources of calcium. Dairy products such as milk and yogurt are also considered as one of the best sources of calcium. 2. Iron: Meat, chicken and fish are good sources of iron. Iron is also available in cereals, eggs, vegetables and beans; however it is not as easily absorbed into the body as the iron from meat, chicken and fish. 3. Zinc Rich Foods Include: Oysters, chicken, crab, kidney beans, yogurt, brown rice, spaghetti. 4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are Largely Found In: Purslane herb, cold water fish, and flaxseed oil or flax seeds. Here are some simple suggestions towards caring for the feet effortlessly: • Keep feet clean and dirt free • Exercise the feet regularly • Alternate hot and cold water for a feet bath to soothe the feet • Moisturize and exfoliate the feet whenever possible • Avoid walking bare feet as much as possible • Avoid spending prolonged periods in a wet or damp area. When washing clothes, make sure that your feet are well protected. If you are hand washing any items of clothing, make sure that the soapy water does not splash onto your feet. Detergents are meant to break down oils and so this will leave the skin on your heels dry and cracked. • Soak your feet in warm water at least once a week as this will help to increase blood circulation to your feet. You can add a spoon of fresh mint leaf juice to the water for relief from dry cracked heels. • After a shower, apply a little moisturizer to your heels as this will help to seal in moisture and prevent cracking. Besides using natural methods and the best creams available in the market one could also use shoes that are specially designed for treatment and repair of dry cracked heels.

Believe in yourself. Have faith in your abilities.
Without a humble but reasonable confidence in
your own powers you cannot be succ his
book “The Power of Positive Thinking”. A friend
loaned me his copy of this book and from the very
first page I became enthralled. I knew I could
improve and become a better person, but never
understood how and “The Power of Positive
Thinking” taught me how.
I can never fully explain how life changing Peale’s
book was for me. The lessons contained in it started
me on a new journey, one that is positive and
hopeful. I learned to embrace every day with a
humble but reasonable confidence in myself and my
abilities.
I highly recommend “The Power of Positive Thinking”
to anyone, especially if you have been struggling for
some time and you want to find a way to rise above
your struggles.
“
If you don’t design your own life plan, chances
are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And
guess what they have planned for you? Not
much.
―Jim Rohn
Few teachers teach lessons that are so direct,
honest and significant. Rohn often talked about
possibilities and opportunities as wind and that the
wind blows around all of us, but the difference is
how you set your sail.
Peale’s lesson came first and I am fortunate it did,
because had I not learned the lessons of positive
thinking I would not have been ready to design my
own life plan. I would not have written my memoir
and self-published it. I also would not have created
this blog you are reading.
By writing, self-publishing and even starting my
blogs, I began to design my own life as a writer. I
could have continued to write in my personal
journals and stayed in obscurity, but that would
have been self-limiting.
So what’s your passion? Have you designed your
own plan to bring life to your passion?
If you’re waiting for someone else to give you an
opportunity or design your plan for you, well, be
prepared if they don’t have much in store for you.
Go ahead, set your own sail.
“
Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing
what you can do.
―John Wooden
Oh boy, one of the most important lessons of all.
Our failures, our mistakes and our weaknesses are
usually at the forefront of our minds. It’s natural and
normal to want to improve in the things we do not
do well, but our energy would be better spent
focusing on the things we do well.
Don’t let what you can’t do hold you back from
doing what you can do.
In other words set your sail by your strengths .
Embrace your passion and allow your strengths to
grow. Your confidence in your abilities will naturally
grow as well.
“
Anyone who has never made a mistake has
never tried anything new.
―Albert Einstein
We all make mistakes, plain and simple. Some
mistakes are major, but most are minor and
repairable. However, the only way to avoid a mistake
is to attempt nothing at all.
Is that really an option?
I used to fear making mistakes. I always took the
path of least resistance, so I thought.
It’s better to do what you want to do and learn from
the mistakes you make. You’re going to make them,
but you may discover they are not so bad after all.
Whenever you learn from a mistake you improve and
grow from it. Well, my friends, there’s a great sense
of accomplishment and satisfaction in that.
“
Half the failures in life arise from pulling in the
horse as he is leaping.
―Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles
Hare
Too many people have given up just when they were
about to cross the finish line. The problem was they
didn’t know they were so close.
If you’re going to do something, be prepared to go
all the way. Fear and doubt will always find their
way into our consciousness when we attempt to go
beyond what we’ve done before and if we let them,
they will stop us.
The key is to follow through all the way to the finish.
We usually come up short because we stop
ourselves when it gets too tough and seems
hopeless. On the contrary, that’s when you’re about
to break through.
Keep going. Be all in.
“
You have to let people see what you wrote. It
will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated.
―Tina Fey
Perfection is unachievable and irrelevant and yet, too
many of us get caught up trying to achieve it.
Do what you can to the best of your ability. You’ll
discover that most of the time, that’s good enough.
I wrote a short, free eBook on this subject. Feel free
to read it .
“
If today were the last day of my life, would I
want to do what I am about to do today?
―Steve Jobs
One of the most valuable lessons in life is learning
to enjoy each day, each moment and do what you
are about to do with purpose. Simply going through
the motions is not enough.
You’ve got to be intentional about your life.
Are you happy? Are you doing what you want to be
doing? If so, that’s fantastic. If not, then what are
you going to do today ?
I hope you enjoyed these quotes and the lessons
they taught me

The Year God Died

So God died, and was laid to rest. Then, as expected, hell broke loose.

Satan turned the world upside-down. We ate frogs as food, and it was just one frog a week.

We had no water - not even our urine- for drinking. We drank our tears.

Demons taught us in schools without books. Our classes held in the dark. The sun was nowhere.

Chickens lived longer than children. Corpses were like grains of sand. Death was a friend.

So many more I cannot tell.

Pause. Breathe in. Breath out.

There is no such year. It has not been, and will not be.

My friend, God is not dead. He is still very much in charge!

Nice poem.HOWLING!...GOD IS Impeccable...Ancient of days.

Over the years I have gotten so many letters and e-
mails of appreciation for these simple stories I write.
These letters always warm my heart. Once in a
while, however, I get a letter from hurting soul who
is angry with both God and life. I got one of these
the other day. The man wrote: "If God truly does love
us then how can He allow the poor to suffer,
children to starve, and the homeless to die in the
street? How can He allow so much war, cruelty, and
violence in this world?" I looked at the letter for a
long time and then wrote this back to him: "God
doesn't allow this. We do."
There is more than enough food in this world to fill
every child's stomach. There is more than enough
wealth in this world to give everyone a home where
they can feel safe. There is more than enough love
in this world to overcome cruelty, violence, and war.
Yet, we hoard, fear, and steal. We seek power
instead of love. We close our homes, our hands, and
our hearts. We shut ourselves off and refuse to see
that everyone is our brother and sister.
Perhaps our problem is that we don't look at this
world through the eyes of eternity. We don't see that
a better home and happier life awaits us after this
one. We don't see the love of God within us. Instead
we chase after the things of this world. We don't see
that in eternity's eyes all the wealth and power in
the universe isn't worth a bucket of spit. We don't
see that in the next life we won't be judged by our
fame and accomplishments. We will be judged by
the good we did, the people we helped, and the love
we shared.
I pray that all of those hurting souls out there will
find their way back to faith, love, and life. I pray that
every one of us will feel just how much God loves
us and realize just how much we can love as well. I
pray that all of us will one day see this life through
eternity's eyes.
