Why You’ll Never Reach Your GoalsIf you are reading this, then you already have a goal in mind, and, more than likely are still trying to achieve it; wondering what is holding you back from attaining it. As if our lives were some storybook fairy tale, we are always looking for the happy endings.
But there never should be an end. We are more than that. Our ideas, dreams and goals can be put into action to create a legacy longer than the years you spend on this earth. But we are told if we buy a pill we will be well, if we buy the clothes we will be happy, and that what they want is what we want. It’s what the corporations tell us. It’s what you are sold. And most Americans are dead asleep and doing just as their told while they are pouring their money, hearts, and lives down the drain. It is the lie that success comes easy, that suffering has no place, that there are easy ways to attain greatness; or that even perfection is possible and to be sought after. Most people I talk to about their lives, are in a state of inner discontent, beneath the layers of financial success, career’s, illnesses and life’s battles. Yes, underneath all of that, there is a deep lack in their soul, and they know it. They can feel it in their very beings. Perhaps that’s why we quiet our minds with the sounds of tv’s, radios, podcasts, music; all blaring in the background, not loudly enough to get in your way, but just loud enough to disrupt you from thinking and feeling. To be so busy with everything, that you become nothing in the process, and it’s easier to turn the volume up, or put on another movie, show, or read another book. That’s easier by far, then dealing with the heart of the matter. You will never attain your goals because you don’t actually have any. You have goals that were given to you, not created by you. You were given an expectation, a lie, sold a belief system without your own authorship and gobbled it right up. Because in truth, it’s easier isn’t it? It’s easier to put your faith in something other than yourself because you see yourself as a failure. You put more trust in others than you do yourself. You would rather believe a lie, than believe the truth because the truth is ugly. The truth requires work, effort, and facing your own fears. The truth requires you turn off the tv, it requires you to remember things that you don’t want to remember and when your pain is already so great, you think you can’t handle the pain of your own life on top of it- but that is what’s required. So we lull ourselves to sleep in OITNB or Game of Thrones, we consume the news like starving masses and lose the ability to hear our own opinions. I’ve heard it said that it’s easier to do nothing. But again, I believe that to be a lie. Is it easier to live with yourself knowing you could be more? Is it easier to live with hating your body? Is it easier to watch yourself slowly die? Is it easier to watch life passing you by? Is it easier to live in your regrets and in your fears of the future? No. I don’t think it is, and take it from someone who’s been there; in the trenches- it’s not easier to do nothing. It’s a perpetual state of purgatory; heaven just out of reach, and hell close enough to feel burning at your toes. Rather than clawing ourselves out, rather than deciding; we lull ourselves to sleep and believe that where we are now, is where we will always be. But if I impart nothing else on you, let me remind you that the only thing permanent in life is change. What that change is, depends solely on you. They say you can you can lead people to water, but that also isn’t true. People only follow what they allow to lead them. No one can force you to water, you have to decide to follow them there. Then you have to decide to act and drink. They are and were your choices all along. But society, will have you believe that it was them that gave you those choices. No, it was you. You decide to believe college is the only way to a career. You decide that the only path to healing is through doctors. You decide that you aren’t strong enough to be on your own. It’s your choice to follow and it can be your choice to lead. You must believe that you are capable of achieving your dreams, and must make sure they are your dreams, and not that of your mothers, not your husbands or anyone else besides your own. When you are working for something, it pushes you towards it. But when you living for something, when you want it so bad you dream about it at night, you talk yourself into by day, and your mind drifts off to it in the quiet moments- then it is pulling you. Your life’s mission will be your passion, it will be what wakes you up and gets you up. Your desire to reach your goal has to be your obsession, but it must first- it be yours. Don’t believe the lie that you aren’t smart enough, rich enough, you aren’t young enough, or you aren’t capable enough. Because those are lies. The truth is, it’s not going to be easy, it’s going to be the hardest fight of your life, but when you have your purpose, it will be your rod and staff to comfort you, to pick yourself up with. When the tough times come, and they will, you to have something to hold onto; not a corporate slogan, or what your friends think of you. You have to have that goal, that life dream, planted so firmly in your fist that you never let go, no matter what tries to pull it from you. Achieving your dreams doesn't come easy. It doesn't come in a pill, shake, or a box and if you still believe that, then you’re a coward and deserve the the purgatory you put yourself in- because that is the cowards way out. A coward knows what they should do, but allows fear to stop them; a coward rather believe a lie that suffer with the truth. Eat2Live2Love has no cowards in our program because no coward would ever join our program. It isn’t for the weak and we help produce strength and independence through hard work, effort and passion. Ever heard the slogan, “We build leaders!”? Another lie. If “they” build it, they own it. They are the creators of it. Who then is the leader? If I said, “We build bread!” Would you go there to be bread or would you go to learn to build bread? Your goals and your dreams need to be your own through finding your why in life, self exploration and the belief and knowledge that it is possible for you to have your dream, that you are capable and you are worthy of it. Because the painful truth is, it’s not easy. Reaching for your goals in life is beautifully, unexplainably terrifying. It may be the closest we ever come to becoming a bird in flight, like when you were a child and dreamt of flying; terrifyingly beautiful. You were free then, you can be free again. Be the bird you were meant to be, don’t be afraid- your heart will guide you and the wind will hold your outstretched wings. If you’re ready to learn to fly- become a Member. It’s cheaper than Netflix and will change your life, not waste it. This isn’t “The End”- it’s only the beginning… Make your goals a reality.

44% of men and 37% of women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.* This means, more than likely, someone you love and care for will get this. In fact, you could even be the one sitting on the doctor’s table. There’s much to write about as it relates to cancer; the fight, the cause and the cure. I could spend weeks just writing on the cause, many weeks and many tears more writing about the fight. Cancer is one of those “I can’t believe it happened to ME” diseases that many learn is a lonely and painful process. If you already have a suppressed immune system, your chances are greater of being diagnosed. Our body creates cells, and if those cells are retarded in some fashion, it is our bodie’s duty to kill them so that the bad cells can not replicate. Pretty simple right? But, what if your system doesn’t catch those bad cells in time? Well, they continue to grow and mature and replicate and grow a nice little home (tumor) somewhere in your body. But your body would need to be producing a lot of bad cells in order to create a tumor right? Wrong. Bad cells replicate themselves at a faster rate than your healthy cells. What that means to you, is for every 5 good guys, you have another 10 bad guys. Drugs attempt to kill the cancer cells, and do; but the very basis of science tells us that this very action to the body has a reaction inside the body- and it’s not always positive. Did you know that 100 years ago breast cancer was basically unheard of? How is that possible? Why are more women getting breast cancer? Why are younger and younger women being diagnosed with it? What’s changed? The pink ribbon suppliers and cancer donation-takers don’t want to answer those questions. Nor do they want to answer what percentage of funds goes to the actual care/research of cancer. Let’s face it, you buying a cute little pink bracelet or water bottle isn’t going to cure Sarah’s cancer. We all know that, but we’re afraid to do nothing at all, after all we “want to help”. Eat2Live serves a lot of women, and in keeping with that, Eat2Live always stresses taking care of YOU first. So, before we even get into (and we won’t) fundraising, medical costs, treatment options and the like, let’s talk about you. Eat2Live’s goal is to ensure that you are healthy and strong enough to handle whatever life throws at you- including cancer. I imagine that out of all our readers, a few of you will end up being diagnosed one day (statistically), so heed my words. What you put into your body is typically what you will get out of it. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows evidence that the use of antibiotics is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Yet, when you see your doctor for a viral infection he/she prescribes you an anti-bacterial. The more antibiotics that you take over a lifetime, the higher the risk of breast cancer. Why are we being given drugs that we don’t need? Think about how many antibiotics you’ve taken over the last, let’s say 17 years or so, until now. (Go ahead and take your time, I’ll wait…)
Now, let’s think about the vaccinations, the antibiotics in the animal feed, even the very chemicals that the government puts in your tap water (fluoride for most of us, lead if you’re in Flint Michigan). The American diet itself is a major cause for concern. We are organic beings. We absorb what we put in and on our bodies. The perfume you just sprayed on your neck was reabsorbed into your blood stream within 26 seconds. Do you even know WHAT exactly was absorbed? The food producer’s job is to make sure that you buy MORE of their products, and will tell the public what they want to hear in order to make that happen. Cheerios may be gluten free, but they are still over spraying their crops to dangerous levels with Monsanto chemicals that have been banned in just about every other country in the world. The ingredients in Kraft Mac & Cheese are banned in most other countries, yet it is served in our public schools and we pay for it willingly. So, imagine if you will, a nutrient-deficient diet, leading to chronic illness and over medication. This is what has changed over the last 100 years. We must stop asking questions like “How much can I lose in a week?” and START asking deeper, bigger questions. Watch this video for more detailed information on fighting cancer with nutrition. As always, contact us directly HERE for more questions and more in-depth information.
