Issue



THANK YOU !!!

Thank you to all of you who sent cards, gifts, prayers and e-mails for my birthday last week. Your generosity and love is overwhelming and I appreciate all of your love, support and well wishes making this one of my best birthdays ever! Thank you !!!



This is your moment to change, It’s time to move forward.

If you truly want a change, you must change. Change isn’t change until you change. Why? If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.

There must be movement in you before the process begins. The movement of change happens in your mind. It begins with the mind activity of thought that progresses onward to a manifestation of an action.

Change happens in an instant. You don’t have to spend months in therapy and vacillating about insignificant details and looking for more excuses for not changing and more people to blame. Make the decision now. Decide to change. Decide to do whatever it takes to get to the next level of empowering yourself and ultimately to the true place of Infinite possibility.

Begin with cleansing your soul. Purifying your heart, emptying the shame and blame compartment that enslaves your emotions and stifles your progress.

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 towards you.

Forgiveness is difficult for some people because they feel as if the person or persons that violated them is some way, real or imagined, will be 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 who is carrying the pain. Release it, let it go. And you must know that you have the freedom to not have a relationship with that person again.

This is important to understand. I used to think 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. Forgiving them means that I have released this person of their control over me. They did what they knew at the time, and I now forgive them for what they did.

Did you know that you can forgive and never speak to the person again. You don’t have to physically embrace the person you forgive. You don't have to ever see them again. That's the power. You can forgive them and release them and never see them again. .

You forgive because it’s the right thing to do. It’s one of the greatest tools of self healing there is. 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 and everyone who hurt you and move on! You Can Do It!

Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

Weekly Fit Tip

That's how I am

Who are you? Are you sure? Is your self image really accurate, or has it just become a comfortable habit? "I'm clumsy." "I'm shy." "I'm not very good with computers." "I don't have much energy." "I'm irresponsible." "I'm lazy." "I'm fat."

How easily do such pronouncements roll off your tongue, and how often? The more you repeat them -- to yourself and others -- the more you believe them. Such things become self-fulfilling prophecies.

But the whole concept of "I'm this" or "I'm that" is flawed. Every "I'm" is a leftover from the past. You can change. There is no reason in the world to continue to see yourself as lazy, or irresponsible, immature, or anything. They are not who you are, they are simply behaviors that you choose to participate in.

You're not locked in to any particular behavior pattern. Who are you? You are whoever and whatever you choose to be. Jump out of your self imposed box.

There's a whole, wonderful world that exists beyond your comfortable excuses. Cast off your tired, old assumptions and embrace a universe full of great possibilities.

"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
