Good morning Do-Gooders! I would like to wish every single one of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR, but more importantly, a happy TODAY!
Make today the best day possible. DO not stress the little things and tell the people you love, well, that you love them.
Tomorrow is never promised so that boss that is a pain in the butt, or the person that you allow to bother you, or the craziness going on in the news.... STOP LETTING THEM AFFECT YOU AND DO SOMETHING TODAY THAT WILL MAKE YOU AND THE WORLD BETTER!
Please share this with family, friends, and the world.
Looking forward to helping you become a better you!
Much love, health, and happiness to you all!

Hi all! Today we have a guest blog post. Below is Tyler's article on how technology is helping us MTWABP! Enjoy!

A Better Day is on the Horizon: How Healthcare Innovation is Changing the World
No matter where you’re from or what your background is, everyone on the planet should have the same goal: help make the world a better place. Though we all may have different ideas of what the ideal world looks like, or how we can get there, one thing is certain: improving the health and wellness of people all over the world will help us achieve this goal. Let’s take a look at the shifts on the healthcare front that are allowing for easy access to high quality care for everyone.
Better data means a laser-like focus on prevention over treatment
Everywhere you look, there are apps and electronics monitoring health. From apps being used as pedometers, to calorie counters, millions of Americans use technology to improve their health. Most people are familiar with interactive devices like the Apple Watch, Jawbone and FitBit, but you may not be aware that these apps are changing the future of healthcare.
Technology companies are currently working on ways to share data collected by fitness monitors with a patient’s doctor. They can then use it as part of their diagnostic toolbox. The more information they have about the lifestyle of their patients, the better doctors can diagnose issues early and can offer solutions to prevent disease from occurring at all. This is not only the most cost effective approach to medicine, but prevention can help patients avoid unnecessary pain and suffering.
Virtual visits with doctors mean easier access to healthcare
One of the main factors standing between Americans and better health is their lack of access to qualified medical professionals. This is often because people don’t want to visit the doctor over something they believe may not be a serious issue, qualified doctors aren’t available in their area, or they simply don’t have the time to get to the doctor. Virtual doctors visits can make these issues a thing of the past.
Board certified doctors are now offering online visits. These are not nurses, they are real doctors who can give real diagnoses. Of course many medical issues require an in-person doctor’s visit, but having access to these online services makes it more likely that patients will consult with a doctor before a minor symptom turns into a major health emergency.
Cloud resources make it easy for doctors and patients to communicate
The widespread availability of online medical charts allows patients to instantly access their test results, vaccine history, and all relevant information from their physician. It allows doctors to instantly respond to their patients about any questions or concerns they have. These online charts are safe, secure, confidential and HIPPA compliant. They allow patients to be more involved in their own healthcare, and empowering people to take their health seriously makes the world better, one person at a time.
Physicians can focus more acutely on their patients
If you ask any physician how they’d prefer to spend their working hours they’ll tell you they’d like to spend it with their patients. What gets in their way are the many essential tasks that must be completed but don’t add value to the patient experience: appointment setting, insurance billing, etc. With the newest innovations in healthcare outsourcing, physicians are able to turn these tasks over to specialists - leaving them with much more time to spend with their patients.
Physicians can communicate easily with each other
People with serious health concerns often have numerous doctors. They may have a general practitioner, an oncologist, a surgeon, and a physical therapist. Just a few years ago, getting information from one doctor to another required faxing or sending paper documents. Faxing results in suboptimal copies and mailing documents takes time – time that critically ill patients don’t always have.
These days mobile data is available and can be shared safely and securely from one doctor to another. This cuts down on the need for redundant testing, allows doctors to communicate instantly with one another, and gives patients a more efficient experience.
Innovation and technology are essential parts of every country’s health and well-being. As technology in healthcare improves, the results are higher quality care for everyone. These innovations are leading to the world truly becoming healthier and happier, and in turn, a much better place.

We Have to Learn to Enjoy Each Day
Good morning my friends! I have a short story to share with you all to help share perspective.
This morning in the office I said hello to a fellow co-worker and she said "hello Erik."
"How are you?" I asked. "It's Friday. And a long weekend," she replied....
I never got an answer to my question. Well, I did, and the assumption is that she is doing well and is happy because today is Friday and it is Labor Day Weekend (no work on Monday). Does this mean she is not well when it is not Friday or the weekend? Probably not, but this helps make my point today. We have to enjoy each day as it comes. We are always so focused on the outcome that we forget the process.. i.e. we forget to enjoy Tuesday because we are so focused on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday....
BUT THEN SUNDAY ARRIVES AND WE ARE UPSET BECAUSE TOMORROW IS MONDAY!!!
You see what we're doing there?!
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Take each day as it comes and enjoy it for what it's worth. Tomorrow does not exist... yet.

Too nice, too positive?
Is there such thing as being too nice or too positive/optimistic? I think not.
People have have said I'm too nice. What does that mean? Define too nice. I understand that some people may try to take advantage of the kind and humble, but that would the "nice" persons fault for allowing it to happen. You see, that saying "don't mistake my kindness for weakness" holds true on all accounts. Just because someone is willing to lend a hand does not mean they are a sucker.
Someone has even said "how can Erik be so positive? It bothers me." I feel that there is not enough optimism in the world with all the negative news being reported and constant negative issues being the focus of the media.
SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
We can start by saying thank you to someone who performs an act of kindness. We can stop focusing on the negative. Hold the door open for someone. Say thank you. Say you're welcome. Say hello. Give police officers/firemen/doctors/teachers credit for what they do. Do not judge ALL based on ONE experience. Smile.

FEAR is not real...
FEAR is simply an acronym. As Les Brown said:
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real
Is you are afraid, understand that this fear is learned; but since you've chose to be afaid, use that fear as FIRE to push you and drive you past your comfort zone.
We can over come anything, whether it is a job interview, new eating habits, a new exercise regimen, etc.
Push yourself and shift your comfort zone.

Time flies when you're living life
We're used to hearing the saying "time flies when you're having fun." Sure. it's true. When we're having a good time we tend to lose track of time and then when we finish what we are doing we cannot help but wonder "where did the time go?!"
Now, my question is, why can't we "have fun," all the time? We should strive to ENJOY EVERY SINGLE SECOND WE BREATHE. Life is a reason to celebrate all in itself. We should not take things for granted as we have love and happiness all around us. And if we don't, we can certainly find it.
The take home:
Love your life and the people in it. Remember that we never know when our last breath will be taken, so take every opportunity to the maximum level of happiness! Be great.
