Today, I took a true leap of faith ... one I have been chewing on for almost two years. I have come to realize something that I found very helpful and would like to share. Our egos or minds have usually got a clear agenda, which is basically "maintain status quo." It really does not matter if that status is making us happy or miserable. The main objective is to "hold on" and keep things from shifting or changing. On the other hand, our souls or inner beings, as Abraham calls them, are only interested in seeking joy. Can you see the probability for conflict? Well, that is the internal battle I have been fighting, which has delayed the leap off the precipice that I finally took.

They that patience is a virtue. That is one of my most challenging lessons. We have all been socialized into expecting instant gratification, and in some cases, that is entirely possible.

My heart sank. Here we are among some of the most advanced humans on the planet, living in one of the most free societies possible, and yet we are choosing to commit slow suicide, one by one.

A women called me recently, having read my article on basic nutrition. She had many questions regarding her granddaughter, who will be staying with her this summer. Like so many of our children today, this 10-year-old was already 140 pounds. The more we talked, the more apparent it became that this little girl was not being led by healthy modeling. Of course, that is almost always the case. Either the parents really have no true knowledge of proper nutrition, they don't see the harm in eating the way they have always eaten and their parents before them, or they say, "Do as I say, not as I do" ... which never works. In all cases, the one who will suffer is the child.
