Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great Jessica Mueller.

Acupuncture (from Latin acus, “needle”, and pungere, “prick”) is a technique of inserting and manipulating needles into different points on the body towards the goal of providing pain relief and therapy. This ancient technique originated in China.

I asked Jessica A. Mueller, M.S., L. Ac. what she felt the top five benefits of acupuncture were. Here’s what she had to say…

1. Acupuncture is a cost-effective, drug-free, and safe alternative to invasive procedures and toxic drugs.

2. Acupuncture improves circulation, promoting pain relief, release of toxins from the body, and tissue healing.

3. Restores balance and optimal function, providing opportunities for profound change.

4. Balances emotions and contributes to an empowering sense of well-being.

5. Acupuncture supports the immune system providing disease prevention and maintenance of wellness.

In a fast-paced world where everyone is so quick to be “drugged up” or wait until they have problems before they take preventative action, acupuncture could be the answer.

“I don’t divide the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures, those who make it or those who don’t. I divide the world into learners and nonlearners.

There are people who learn, who are open to what happens around them, who listen, who hear the lessons. When they do something stupid, they don’t do it again. And when they do something that works a little bit, they do it even better and harder the next time. The question to ask is not whether you are a success or a failure, but whether you are a learner or a nonlearner.”

Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great Mario Chalmers and the Kansas Jayhawks.

In last night’s NCAA title basketball game, the Kansas Jayhawks were down 9 points with 2 minutes 12 seconds left in the game. But then something amazing happened…Memphis missed 3 of 5 free throws that would have put the game out of reach. Then, with 10.8 seconds left, Kansas with no time-outs and trailing by three hustled down the court…

Collins hands to Chalmers and with 2.1 seconds left, Mario Chalmers sinks a three-pointer with nothing but net to tie the game…the crowd goes wild!

Kansas went on to win their first championship in 20 years in overtime, 75-68.

Memphis coach, John Calipari wasn’t worried about his team’s worst free-throw percentage (59%). He said they don’t have to be good because they would always come through when the stakes were highest. Guess what folks? The stakes don’t get any higher than the NCAA Championship Game.

The top 3 messages I got from this game are:
1. Don’t get over-confident no matter how well you are doing
2. Work on your weaknesses as well as developing your strengths
3. The best team doesn’t always win…the team that PLAYS best always wins

Congratulations, Kansas.
