Good morning gentlemen, Many of you are in areas where the weather has changed and is now cold outside and especially where there is snow. With the change in the weather comes a lot of health issues like colds, influenza, pneumonia and other respiratory problems. It is important that we take care of ourselves. And one of the best ways is to stop thinking that we are too good or too cool to wear a hat and a scarf outside. This is a common problem with a lot of men. Now before everyone gets in an uproar and say that’s not me, if you are not that person then this is not for you. It is a fact that 80-90 percent of our body heat is dispersed from our heads when you are outside, therefore, when you go outside in the bitter cold without something on your head you are loosing precious energy and heat from your body. And wearing a scarf around your neck will keep your throat from becoming subject to the cold that could end in a sore throat or worse. Not to mention, a scarf can also protect your ears as well; for me, I do not like wearing ear muffs so a scarf works well for me. Now many will say “I look dorky in a hat,” or I can’t wear a hat.” ( no reason just can’t), or “hats are for old people.” The fact of the matter is I was like that when I was younger and didn’t know any better. Then when I started dressing better and I decided to step out and try one. I noticed how a hat and scarf not only protects my body but it brings style and class to my outfits. When I started receiving all kinds of compliments and I started feeling good about myself. Then I realized that the same goes for the summer time, that wearing a hat in the summer protects my head from the sun rays and let’s be real, the ozone layer is not like it was 50 years ago and therefore this is why it is hotter and reaching heat records in the summer and freezing records in the winter. This is all the more reason why we need to protect our bodies to include our heads and facial ares. The good news is that there are so many styles of hats, colors, and sizes that there are some just right for you and the style that you want to express. In the winter time a scarf on your coat’s whether it’s a trench coat, a bomber jacket, a Carhart jacket, can level up any jacket. You can create your own style that fits you and make it your own.

Most people act like building a great life is some miserable process that requires significant sacrifice. ...and the truth is... You will have to eliminate certain habits if you want to get wherever it is you're trying to go. Stop thinking of that in terms of sacrifice. Start thinking of it in terms of investment. When you make the decision to skip the happy hours... ...and all of the crap that's keeping you stuck... You aren't actually missing out on anything. You're simply choosing to make investments in the habits and actions that will bring you closer to your long-term goals instead. Losers focus on what they're "missing out" on today. Winners focus on what they'll gain in the future. ...and what they'll gain is far more valuable than anything they say "no" to in the present. It's not a loss. It's a trade. Which means there is no sacrifice. So quit thinking of it as one. It's an investment. ...and every time you choose to make those investments instead of caving to short-term gratification... You're piecing together a future that most people will never have because they aren't willing to make those same investments. Remember that. ~ Andy Frisella
