By: Arthur Anderson Fear can be a very useful emotion.  It is meant to keep us in a state of heightened awareness by increasing adrenaline and raising our cortisol levels, among other things.  This heightened awareness can save us in unsafe situations or help us when something unexpected happens. The problem is that fear has become a bigger part of our lives than it should be.  We have developed fears for things that we cannot directly control.  Fear of North Korea shooting a nuclear missile at us, fear of global warming, fear of ISIS and so on.  Why do we continually fear about things we cannot directly control?  Because the “media” tells us we should.  When I say “media” I’m referring to news networks, every blogger who has something to say, a Facebook follower, or the other so-called news sources that exist on the Internet.  Truthfully, I don’t know how...Read more

This past Saturday marked our 3rd Annual Metcon 4 Hope fundraising competition in which we raised money for A New Song International. The goal was to raise $20,000 dollars in which we surpassed, raising over $33,000 dollars in just about two weeks time! With this money A New Song International will be able to provide food, medical care, education and give the ability to build a self-sustaining infrastructure that will not only benefit the children of Uganda but also provide assistance to surrounding communities. Along with raising money for A New Song International we also gave away $5,000 to other non-profits including the SPCA, Soldiers Angels, Nevada Humane Society, Veterans Guest House and the Eddy House.

By: Joel Cochran 3 Step Processes on Getting What You Want Ever wonder why you don’t have (fill in the blank)… No seriously, fill in the blank right now in your mind.  What is it that goes through your head the most throughout the day?  Is it thinking about having a job that you love?  Maybe it’s fixing a broken relationship in your life?  Or maybe you just want to have a 6 pack like Coach Joaquin or Coach Leo?  Whatever it might be I have a patented 3 Step Process that will get you what you want starting today! 1) Declare it and share it! – Way too often we don’t get what we are seeking because we don’t declare that we actually want it!  This is like a child who really wants chicken nuggets but doesn’t say anything and gets a burger and pouts when they have to...Read more
