Proactive Living

We need to take control of our lives following through with the necessary activities
and not give others control by not doing the required research which leads to the
path we should take in any endeavor in our lives. I am working on healing my
diabetes and it's complications and have taken charge of it as my current doctor
is just trying to manage symtoms which isn't much help.  Through my research
I've found treatment programs from other doctors which I are starting to heal
me.  I've gotten my blood sugars down to. between 80-102. Starting something
new can be hard work and making changes aren't easy but we need to pay the price
to achieve our goal.

Some Reflections

As I take this journey, I continue to discover new pieces of the puzzle and see patterns
develop across the spectrum that open my eyes to the  world around me to see things
as they truly are .  I've learned that the medical establishment tries to keep remedies
that can heal various diseases like diabetes quite because of financial greed.
If you have diabetes or know someone who does then visit www.myhealingkitchen.com
and  www.drfurhman.com. for information to heal you.   It seems that the way the world
is portrayed to us is actually different from how things truly are. I invite you to take own
journey and make your own conclusions.

Are You Locked In Your Own Mythology?

As I continue to explore different ideas,beliefs, and mythologies it occurs to me
that each one of us view our world through own point of views and mythologies
many times locked in not willing or able to explore other possibilities and
perspectives.   I believe  for our world to be a better place to live in we need
to broaden our views willing to see the various sides openly to find mutually
benefical ways of coming together. As my late wife said, " Love is being
open to the ideas of others."  None of us know for certain that our
mythologies are right but I believe we need to be continually exploring keeping
our minds open to new information and perspectives for us to develop and
grow as people.

Gotta Find Me A Future

Since I've started this journey in 2009, I've been trying to find a path to getting
back to a "normal" life and I'm starting to make progress.  My diabetes and
neuropathy are reversing improving weekly.  I've started this blog plus a few
online opportunities.  I'm working on starting a storytelling podcast, creating
puppet videos, and presenting webinars on various topics.  Now that I must
go on without my lovely wife Patty and as Queen said in "I Want It All"
I Gotta Find Me A Future and I'm on my way!    Life is filled with
challenges which test us and we need to meet the challenge rising
up like the Phoenix to live another day.                                                              

Failures Are Stepping Stones On Road Towards Success

There have been numerous times, in my life, when I've started something
only to run into problems, fear, self-doubt, negative comments from others etc.

It made me feel down, defeated, worthless and just generally down about myself.
But through this journey I'm on I've developed a new perspective about my life
and world around me by studying the works of great writers and thinkers in a
variety of fields.   Through this study, I've come to look at the concept of
stepping stones which bridge one idea to another.

A realization I've come to about failing is:
Failures are stepping stones on the road towards success.

So never give up just keep striving, for life is a marathon and not
a sprint.

Rising Up To A New Life Like "The Phoenix"

I feel as if 2012 is going to be the year that I restore my health 
and start up numerous new projects and relationships.  In the
past month since I've start the plant based diet, my blood
sugars are starting to stabilize in the low 100's and  below 100.
Meaning I'm on the road to reversing my diabetes and neuropathy.
I'm also planning to start soon new therapies to help my legs heal
and strengthen so I can stand and then walk again.  I believe like
the mythology of "The Phoenix", I will rise from the ashes of my
illness and be reborn into a healthy robust new life. I recently
opened an online digital bookstore offering a variety of e-books
at reasonable prices generally between $4-$8 
at http://digitalbooksforsuccess.com and plan starting to broadcast
my storytelling podcast "Tales Are For Telling" this month.

Importance of Being Open Minded

Through my journey towards self discovery, I have come to know the
importance of developing an open mind and point of view taking in,
analyzing, accepting or rejecting information through my world view.
I have learned to open my mind to explore for more than one right
answer knowing that the pursuit of knowledge is a life long quest.
Being open minded allows us to explore the world around us with a
sense of wonder and when interacting with other people, as my
loving wife wrote, share love.  When we take this path we may
find that at the end of the road there's a light shinning brightly.
