Burning Desire

My burning desire is for people to realize that health comes from within. You can’t get if from a pill or potion. You can’t buy it. You don’t get it from great genes alone. It is a choice each of us makes every day…actually, it is a great number of choices we make all day long.

Do you get up when the alarm goes off and eat a healthy breakfast before heading to work? Or do you hit the snooze button repeatedly and skip breakfast? When you get home at night, do you read books or articles that build you up in strong and noble thought? Or do you sit in front of the idiot box (aka TV) watching hours of mindless shows?

What’s even more important is that all of these choices we make daily are providing a blueprint for our kids to follow! When we look at the declining health and increasing obesity rates in our youth, it is sickening! It breaks my heart to see this! Last summer, I visited the Omaha Zoo and saw a scene that is way too common and it infuriated me. A young girl about 4 years old was standing with her belly hanging out of her shorts and over her jeans while this girl’s mother handed her a soda that she began chugging. The poor little girl was been trained from birth on acceptable dietary choices by her parents. Children are fast learners and these lifestyle choices are imprinted on their developing brains.

Make the decision for not only yourself but your family to choose health. Choose to be aligned in all aspects of your life: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Choose to eat nutritiously, feeding your body with the good stuff your body needs. Choose to think positively, with a mindset of success. Choose to feed your brain & body with movement through exercise and activity.

These simply steps can and will change your life.
