How to Balance Healthy Living and your Career
I’ve often noticed in movies over the years that rich businessmen are often portrayed as “big” guys. The notion that company owners or senior executives are depicted regularly as “corporate fat cats” is not exactly as funny or accurate as some people may think. If you’re managing a business -whether it be a start-up or a Fortune 500- , managing to eat a healthy diet can pose significant challenges. Let’s face it, when time is short, it is easy to get a “fast” (food) meal. It is no wonder that those with busy lives are susceptible to packing on a few extra pounds. Before you know it, those pounds accumulate over months if not years, and you suddenly look in the mirror and ask “who is that?”. Making matters worse, the long and stressful work hours make regular exercise that much more difficult as well. So, newsflash to stressed out executives; don’t be surprised if you develop […]
Michael Canzian on the Meaning of Success and Habits That Every Successful Person Commits to
The definition of “success” is a vast and subjective term that holds different meanings to different people. It can mean attaining financial wealth, a position of authority, awards, or experience. It is usually connected to a goal that an individual has set for themselves. Success is often considered an end point or end game where a person may not think of themselves as successful until that one specific goal is met. Humans often compare themselves to one another, and sometimes we tend to base our success on comparisons with those around us. The definition of success itself is limitless and often changing. Initially, success could be connected to how much money we earn or the way in which society prioritizes wealth above all else as the grand prize. We start learning these lessons early in school as […]
Michael Canzian on Taking Care of Relatives with Alzheimer’s
If there is one thing that Michael Canzian is thankful for it’s the fact that he has strived to create a healthy mind and body through exercise and proper diet. Of course, he also understands that with Alzheimer’s disease continuing to be an enigma and traditional pharmacological cures remaining elusive, significant research and discovery is still needed to determine root causes and thus identify effective treatments. The fact remains that alternatives approaches must also be seriously considered. As one ages, the risk of cognitive decline and perhaps even Alzheimer’s is a risk and concern for many older adults. Clues regarding how the disease progresses are helping the scientific community to pursue both traditional and alternative treatments and therapies. One of the most important factors of the disease that is often overlooked is the impact on the family circle as it is often the […]
Michael Canzian on Alzheimer’s Disease and the World It Needs
One of the non-profit charities that Michael Canzian donates to is the Alzheimer’s Association. While he donates to other organizations, he highly supports the cause of this non-profit given that millions of people are affected by this disease. Through his donations, he is able to support various initiatives such as advanced research for finding the cure for Alzheimer’s and allocating proper funds for affected elders and families. It may be the case that some who consider donations may think that their contributions would not matter or be significant enough to make an impact, and therefore often choose not to donate at all. However, the fact remains that every dollar donation, or the donation of one’s time, is always beneficial and helpful to any non-profit in meetings its goals and objectives. The only […]
Michael Canzian on Having a Strong and Healthy Marriage
By definition, marriage is a legally and socially sanctioned union between two people that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and accords status to their offspring (if any). It is a mutual agreement between two people to enter a life-long journey together. Aside from these definitions, what is the true meaning of marriage? For Michael Canzian, marriage is deciding to take every risk for love, making the relationship stronger each and every day, even when times are difficult. Of course, a partnership with someone out of love sounds like something easy to do; but the reality is, it is difficult to keep a marriage that continues to thrive in love and happiness. If everyone had […]
