A Running Stream Or A Stagnant Pool?

What are the top prescribed drugs in America? Antidepressants, Prozac? I asked this question in a workshop the other day and somebody said Viagra! I don’t know if that’s true or not.  Did you know that Valium is one of the top prescribed drugs in America?  Isn’t that interesting?  It is a muscle relaxant.  Why is it Valium one of the top prescribed drugs? Is it because we’re so stressed out or burned out?  I know our kids just started school in the last few weeks and we don’t have an alarm clock at our house…we have a starter’s gun that goes off at 5:30 in the morning. Some of us are pretty stressed out. Something that has helped me deal with burnout is to strengthen my muscles of determination...set some challenging goals for the year.  I had a professor in graduate school that a good line.  He said,  “I learned early on as a teacher that you either drink from a running stream of knowledge or a stagnant pool.”  How about you?  Are you drinking from a running stream?  Are you learning?  Are you growing?  Are you still challenging yourself?  Don’t say I’m too old.  I had a guy look up at a seminar the other day and say, “You can’t teach old dogs new tricks.”  I had a vet tell me that’s not even true with dogs!
