Maxwell started off reminding us all what Napoleon said years ago.

Napoleon said ‘Leaders are dealers in Hope’.

If you are a parent, if you are a coach, if you are in guiding people lives in any way you must nourish hope in the lives of those around you. By doing so you are blessing their lives because:

Hope gives us light when it is dark.

Hope gives us strength when we feel weak.

Hope gives us meaning when we think life has lost all meaning.

Hope makes the impossible seem possible and increases the likelihood that all will work out.

A person without hope is as close to death as he will ever be.

Hope will carry you on when you don’t have the energy to go on.

To have Hope is the best decision you will ever make.

Pilzer said “when you have passion for what you are doing it will get you to follow through in what you have to do no matter whether you like it or not so you can get to where you want to go.”

I agree. I can’t wait to get out of bed each day to do my best to make a difference in the world. How about you?

Do you feel passion in what you do? Whether you are a parent or a teacher or a business owner or all three do you find the internal motivation each day to get you out of bed?

Finding your passion may not be easy but when you have it look out world here you come!

If I can help let me know.

Before and During the Flight

I am not a doctor so you can check this out for yourself but I have read that during a flight due to the air conditioning adults can lose up to 24 oz or 2/3 of a liter of precious body water content. This dehydration can mess up my thinking and perhaps, yours too. So it makes sense that before you (and I) fly to make sure we are well hydrated by sipping water on the day of departure.

Also, it is recommended that during the flight make sure to drink water and be aware that if you drink diuretics like pop, coffee and alcohol during the flight you will need to drink more water to compensate for the dehydration this type of drinks causes. A good rule of thumb I heard is for every cup of a diuretic you drink, drink a cup of water.

Also, if you eat water laden vegetables and fruits during the flight this will also help counter dehydration. It is best in my experience to avoid eating nuts and other dry foods that require your body to take in more water to digest them. So no more in flight mini pretzels! Perhaps, the ‘post flight fatigued feeling’ that you have had in the past was only caused by dehydration. Check it out and see what happens for you.

On Arrival

Are you going to somewhere cold? You may be surprised that you need to drink more water in cold as well as in hot climates. If you are in a cold climate I have read your lungs will work harder to get inside you the precious oxygen you need to survive. This extra work draws the moisture out of your lungs quicker and your lungs must stay moist to function properly. In a hot climate, as you most likely know, you need to drink more water as the heat draws water from your body.

On arrival you need to continue sipping water throughout the day so you will need to get to you baggage as soon as you can and find and fill up your water bottle so you have water availalble to drink. If you don’t have a water bottle to carry with you when you are traveling you will want to check out the Stainless Steel Water Bottle review I posted here. Some bottles are insulated so they stay cool longer. Check out the details.

If you are looking for more information on the importance of water in your body or you are looking for this information to share with a friend. You can read this other posting Ten reasons why water is important for your Success and Wellness.

The best of everything to you always,
