It Only Happens Through Taking Action

I have learn through my years of living  that you
can talk about your aspirations, goals, fears, or
anythingelse but if you don't set  an action
plan and follow through nothing will change.

Many of us have the dreaded someday I'll
do this or overcome that but as the song says
someday never comes.

We need to face life head on learning to overcome
our fears realizing like Ben Franklin did it's all in our
heads as he said,"90% of what I feared never happened."

Tony Robbins, a famous motivational speaker, is always
talking about taking action. Or Jack Canfield reminds us
to"feel the fear but go for it anyway."
It's important that we create for ourselves the habit of taking
action to improve our lives. It may seem hard at first but it
gets easier each time you do it.

I heard a story how Tom Hopkins, a master sales trainer, always
refused to give speeches until one day he tried and each time it kept
getting easier and they even started to applaud.
Today he is among the elite speakers in world earning a large
income from speaking.

I have and continue to face these same challenges daily, but I
am now taking Canfield's advice making myself take the actions
I need to do to improve my life and help others improve theirs.
As the saying goes,"If it's going to be, it's up to me!"

Today is the day you start something new not yesterday or tomorrow
so join me in changing your life and take action to achieve what you
want from life!

The Drive To Be....Whole

If you have now or in the past faced a health challenge
then you'll be able to relate to what I'm talking about.
I had learned from Patty's illness that though I felt
for her I truly couldn't relate until I experienced what
has happened the past 3+ years with my diabetes and
complications.

In a sense, no matter how much loving care you have
you are still going through the challenge...alone!
So there needs to be a point where you need to decide
what course of action you're going to take.

I have chosen to take charge and set my own course
to regaining my health by gaining knowledge and
finding the people I need to help me.
This is what I've done and it's starting to work!

I have a drive as any ill person does...the drive to
become whole again. I believe the stronger that drive is
the stronger the motivation and desire to do what you need
to do to achieve your goal or objective.

But it all comes from within and how deep you can reach when
the going gets rough. There's a famous saying, " When the going
gets tough, the tough get going."
So as we approach the new year, I am very optimistic about my
future and I'm proud of some of the friends I have for there
inner strength and focused mind to take charge of their lives.

My hat is off to you ladies!

Never Give Up

That great british statesmen Winston Churchill once said
"Never, never, never give up."
As we go on this journey we call life, we are faced with
different challenges but we must not give into them but
instead dig deep inside ourselves to find the strength to
overcome and succeed.

Sometimes the road isn't easy and becomes drawn out
but if you look you'll find the stamina you need to keep
yourself  moving forward developing a can do attitude
that nothing is going to stop you!

If you've read other blog posts of mine then you know
the past five years have been very rough for me.
From losing the woman who meant everything to me,
to losing my health, part of my left leg, my ability to
walk and work then almost my life.
But through all that I've continue to look forward to
believe that I could recover regaining my health and
make a real contribution to this world.

Now after 31/2 years, I'm starting to put it all together
diet, exercise, therapy, burning desire and belief to make
my resurrection back to good health and a productive
life in 2013.

Each one of us has the ability to face our challenges square
in the eye taking whatever action is necessary to succeed
but to do so we must keep trying never giving up.

Remember failures are just stepping stones toward the road
to success and so chart your course, man your sails, and make
it happen!

Is Your Doctor A Drug Pusher or a Problem Solver

In talking with  a neighbor recently discussing our health
challenges, at this time, I discovered that we had the same
doctor whose solution is drugs.
It got me to thinking, due to all the research I've done,
that there  are two types of doctors. Drug pushers and
problem solvers.

The drug pusher discovers symptoms and prescribes
synthetic drugs that act as a band aid solution and
mask the problem.

While the problem solver discovers the route causes
and prescribes the most effective treatment available
many times natural and when necessary drugs.

Sometimes drugs are the only solution available but
considering the toxicity to use them first instead of
trying safer natural methods is a disservice to the
patient.

Many ailments are caused by one's diet and/or
nutritional deficiences  so it just makes sense to look
to correct this either by changing the diet or restoring the 
the deficiences solving the problem instead of using drugs
to mask the problem.

A perfect example, I'm very familiar with is type 2 diabetes
which is a lifestyle disorder caused by insulin resistance
the body's inability to cover the glucose in your cells.
The doctors who push drugs will prescribe a diabetic drug
many of which are dangerous causing side effects such as
heart problems killing many patients.

But since it's a lifestyle disorder, problem solvers will suggest
the patient make changes in diet and exercise which works.
Using this type of program I got my A1C test down to 5.2.

So it's up for you to decide do you want a pill pusher usually
an allopathic doctor or a problem solver generally an integrative,
functional, or natropathic doctor to treat you.

Developing a Success Attitude

One of the keys to living a happy and productive
life is the attitude you develop toward life, meaning
what you focus on.

Winston Churchill stated, " Success consists of going
from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."
Again it's all how you view your experiences and
the point of view you take.

It is said people who are successful do the things that
other people won't do. Things like setting goals, developing
an action plan, and taking positive action consistently
until the goal is reached.  Having that determination to
push forward no matter what others think, say, or do.

You also need to believe in yourself that you have what
it takes to achieve your desired outcome. To develop this
belief you need to continually try until you succeed making
this apart of your belief system building your confidence.
Each time you make an attempt analyze what happen,
what did you do that good or bad and make necessary
changes until you achieve a flawless performance.

Also don't let you mind run away with building up reasons
why I can't do it, it won't work, it's too much for me etc.
Ben Franklin, one of our country's wisest sages, said.
"90% of everything I worried about never happened,"
Develop a can do focus as you follow life's highway.

Remember " If it's gonna be it's up to me!"

As you keep taking positive action building positive thoughts
through spaced repetition you will make the positive changes
you desire and achieve your goals.

Also don't procrastinate " Don't put off for tomorrow what you
can do today."  Cause remember someday never comes so set
your plans and chart your course cause your ship is leaving,
so are you ready to take the  journey of a life time in the
ocean of success.

Your time is now!

Reflections on an Angel

Since this is the time of year we consider what we are
grateful for I want to write about the person who changed
my life for the better and I'll always be grateful that I
turned around in my seat at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln
Center to see the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen in
my life who two years later would become my bride and
wife.

Patricia as I came to know her was much more than just
a beautiful face as she was a sparkling personality with
a loving and caring heart, a brilliant woman with a 210
I.Q. as well as a gifted artist with an powerful 5 octive
range voice in addition to being a talented actress, visual
artist, and poet.

She achieved some acclaim being named Bride of the Year
in 1990, name three times Woman of the Year by the
American Biographical Institute and twice Woman of the
Year by the International Biographical Institute as well as
numerous listings in Who's Who publications including
Who's Who in the World.

But to me Patty was the light of my world, the love of my
heart, and my eternal soul mate.  If there is such a thing as
love at first sight then it hit both of us really bad. Her radiant
personality drew in everyone she knew and totally put me
under her spell. She was an angel here on earth and we were
each others.

I lost my angel five years ago to cardiac arrest and the light
in my life has dimmed. Someday we will be together for
eternity and once again that light  in my heart will shine
bright forever.

Focus on Your Future

Many times when we're facing challenges whether
they be health, financial, or emotional, we may tend
to focus on the past or stay where we are accepting our
fate. We feel there is no hope for our future.

But we need to realize that we can change  and improve
our future if we develop the correct mind set to analyze
what caused our challenge and what steps we need to follow
to succeed .

If we haven't already developed it we need to focus on having
a positive can do attitude that if we look,search, and keep exploring
we can find the answers to our challenge.

I've recently read stories on women who developed MS and searched
for solutions to this horrid disease and overtime learned how to put
their symptoms into remission.

Or stories of soldiers who lost one or both legs to come back and climb
a famous mountain . Or a lone runner with a prosthetic leg run in the
Olympics.

It's all how you view things!  You can decide what outcome you want
and work to achieve it.
I know because like everyone else I've faced numerous challenges but I
keep focusing on the future with hope and determination  to find the
solutions to help me heal myself and walk again.

So we need to start to believe that all isn't lost and that you can have
a bright future if you become solution orientated , never give up,
and focus on your future.
