Your Body Is Your Vehicle

To Your Health

Today I want to talk a little bit about your vehicle.

Not that man made vehicle sitting in your driveway with a 500 mile past due oil change and a cracked windshield. Because that is not your vehicle, that's mine. lol No, no...I am talking about your life vehicle.

Your body.

Your body is the only thing you have to get you through this adventure we call life. Now I don't know about you, but I have gotten myself is some poor situations because I did not take care of my car before a big trip. There were things I knew I needed to do, but I ignored them. Those tires will make it another 3,000 miles....even though my mechanic said “Hey, your tires are just about worn through!” 
Bah, what does he know? 
Many of us do this to our bodies. We won’t even listen to our mechanic, our doctor. “Sir/Ma’am you need to lose weight.” “Bah, what does he know?” Oh I don’t know, it’s only his job. Then again a lot of people take care of their car, better than they do their own bodies. What use is that car going to be when you are too sick to drive it?
I would invite you to start and start with one thing. What one thing today will you do to start repairing your vehicle? You can start with your wheels and go for a walk. You can start with your gas tank and eat a salad with a light dressing...this will also help your exhaust system....HA HA.
I had gotten myself in a poor position because I did not take care of my life vehicle. I was 30 and dying before I had even lived. I started with my body and got my results, but my mind was still not at ease. I had to fix my brain. I had to believe in myself more. I achieved the results that I wanted on the outside and I sat in it. “THERE! I DID IT! I AM DONE.” and the universe said to me....”OH NO YOU AIN’T! I have more in store for you and if you deny me, you will go back to that 242 lbs” It started to happen. I was creeping back up to 200 and I said....”Wooooah! Wake up Richard!” and I started looking at my life.

What was next?

Quitting smoking, losing weight, those were just steps in a much bigger process. My next step was to unchain myself from this desk. This is not what I was meant to do and every time I removed myself from the corporation, I moved closer to my dream.
 
You have one life to live, don’t wait until your death sentence to live it.

As always thank you for your time and attention.

Making It Now: 4 Steps to Success

The best time to do anything is right now. Hesitation is one of our biggest enemies in the world of getting things done. For a long time in my life I would put things off until the last minute then scramble to put it together. This can work as some of us work well under pressure, but in my experience a little planning can go a long way. Here are some of my tips on getting things accomplished. Make a list Writing things down takes an idea out of our minds and puts into the real world. This is an important step because ideas without action are simply that..and idea. The first action is to make it real by writing it down. Do it I know I have many lists with things uncrossed. It is very important when you have big goals to break it down into its parts and slowly accomplish them. Big goals can be very daunting. Want to make a million dollars in a year? That seems like an unrealistic goal, but if you could break it down into $2,000 a day, then break that down into selling

Find Someone Who Loves You For Who You Are

It can be very difficult at any age to enter into the dating scene, but it becomes different as we get older with more complications. Personally, I am 35 and once divorced. It was a very difficult journey to get myself to the point where I am now physically, financially, and emotionally. To be able to get myself where I am a whole person not dependent on another to make me whole. In my younger, egocentric mind I would seek out relationships for pleasure. Something to make me whole to give me what I thought I needed. There is a big misconception out there about love. Yes, it can absolutely be this fairy tale thing where 2 people come together to have this bond. But what it should never be is a knight in shining armor coming to rescue another person. This goes for either sex. But this is important to remember. victim + savior = toxic relationship There are plenty of people that will love you for your money. There are plenty of people that will love you f

Being True to Yourself Means Being Fearless

Got integrity? Integrity means doing the right thing or what you believe to be the right thing all of the time. This means you don’t make justifications for your actions when no one is looking. This is hard. “Oh, no one will be the wiser.” This is in part the reason that religion, specifically the all knowing, all seeing God, is not followed as much as it used to be. It gets tiresome. The idea of everything, every thought, every word, and every action has meaning. Someone is keeping tabs all of the time. That’s exhausting, but there are specific rewards you get from being true. You get to be pretty much fearless. When you know in your heart of hearts that you did the right thing given the circumstances, the knowledge, and the tools that you have at your disposal, there is no one that can oppose you. This also means you can see right through people. When lies and deceit do not exist in your life, if they aren’t your practices, you can see right through them. Th
