This Week's
Issue



The path to cleansing begins with forgiveness. True peace comes after true forgiveness. Forgive yourself for things you have done that you feel guilty about and forgive others for their wrong doing.

Forgiveness is difficult for some people because they feel as if the person or persons that violated them is some way, real or imagined, is getting away with something without sufficient punishment. In essence, for you, the forgiver, it’s the opposite.

Forgiveness is liberating. Forgiveness frees up space in your heart. The space that is filled with deep dark, evil, angry, cold, depressed and grim emotions will become available.

Forgiveness is for you, the person whose carrying the pain. Release it, let it go. And you must know that you have the freedom to not have a relationship with the person again.
This is important to understand. I thought that if I forgave someone I would have to be their personal friend and have lunch with them and hang out.

This is not true. It means that I released this person of their control over me. They did what they knew at the You can forgive and never speak to the person again. You don’t have to physically embrace the person you forgive. In your heart you can not be forgiven if you don’t forgive.

You forgive because it’s the right thing to do. It’s one of the greatest tools of self healing there is. You forgive others so that you can heal. Forgiveness heals your heart and cleanses your soul of pain from the past. That’s why they call it the past. It’s over. You never have to let the past steal your future ever again. Right now, in your mind, Forgive anyone who hurt you and move on! You Can Do It!

Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

"We started using Body Balance just this past year. We have never seen anything like it! My husband, our 8-year-old son, and I all use this product every day. We are thrilled with the extra energy and vitality that we have all experienced. Our son has had some health challenges and is doing so much better since we have added Body Balance to his diet. We have recently turned on a lot of friends to the Life Force products, and they keep coming back for more! Thank you Life Force for these fantastic products!"

Weekly Fit Tip

Commit to it

Taking action without being totally committed to it can be worse than taking no action at all. Because when you have any level of resistance to what you're doing, you're simply not going to be very effective at it, and the effort will be largely wasted.

Always keep in mind that you can decide to do it or you can decide not to do it. But it is vitally important to make one decision or the other, and then to follow it with your full commitment.

To make progress, you must have yourself on your own side. You won't get very far if you have to work against your own resistance and resentment.

If you're going to do it, commit yourself to it. Commitment is a decision you can make for yourself, regardless of the circumstances, regardless of whose idea it was originally.

Commitment is the act of sincerely putting your heart into what you're doing. If you have no interest in being committed, then why would you have any reason to go through the motions?

Rather than fighting against your own resistance, be supported by your own commitment. That will often make the crucial difference between success and failure.

Fight Osteoporosis...

"I want to thank you for all of your wonderful products! I had been suffering from foot discomfort for almost 10 years. Since taking the products - and I am sure it is the combination of all of them, but particularly the OsteoProCare - after about three months my feet were perfectly normal. It may also have something to do with the fact that I have lost about 30 pounds using the products. I have not even been trying to diet! I just think that when you get the proper nutrition you don't crave "junk food." I now crave my Body Balance! Life Force has been a great asset to both my physical and my financial health! Thank you for becoming a 'force' in my life!"

Barbara Kardokus, OK

Victoria, I have always enjoyed Victoria's Videos. In fact she helped me to lose over 40 lbs. a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, I did not have the will power to keep up my exercise or to continue by new found lifestyle of healthy eating. I am now going to make a commitment to start again with a new attitude and "new Victoria's Videos" in hopes of lowering my cholesterol, my fat intake, and my weight. Thank you for all the help you have given me in the past as well as the near future. Also, thank you for making your workouts fun, exciting, and motivational. There is nothing like hearing you encourage me and let me know that I can do it. Thanks again.

Natalie C. Coleman,
LaVergne, TN
