Good Morning, Thank you for stopping by. We are very busy with our move so I have been neglecting my daily posts (sorry). We are both doing very well with the weight loss, Margaret is -28.85 and I'm -38 lbs. I'm 3 pounds from my goal (188.2) BTW the .2 is there just to get me at total loss of over 40 lbs (bragging rights). Margaret is still not revealing any numbers but is now saying that she is half way to her total weight loss goal.
We are starting a new samples program with our RVL product and will have three day supplies available starting sometime next week - 803-468-6482 for those of you that are interested in the program. This is the best is call product that is on the market - bar none.
The following comments are from our business partners Kent and Sherry Braswell - I think they are very relevant to the current economy and world situation. I heard it said not to wish for less problems but for more skills - we cannot fly without gravity...enjoy Sherry's comments and please stop by again.
Paths without Obstacles Don’t Lead Anywhere Important…
To get to the “promised land,” you’ll have to navigate through the wilderness. All of us encounter
obstacles, problems, and challenges across our paths, and our decisions as to how to respond
to them and view them are significant.
A person with twenty challenges is twice as alive as a man with ten. If you haven’t gotten any challenges you should get down on your knees and ask, “God don’t you trust me anymore”?
So what if you’ve got problems…that’s good! Why? Because consistent victories over problems are important steps on your stairway to success. Be thankful for challenges, for if they were less difficult, someone with less ability would have your job.
“A successful man will never see the day that does not bring a fresh quota of problems, and the mark of success is to deal with them effectively.” (Lauris Norstad)
“You will never be the person you can be if pressure, tension and discipline are taken out of your life.”
Refuse to let yourself become discouraged by temporary setbacks. If you are beginning to encounter some hard bumps, don’t worry. At least you are out of a rut. Circumstances are NOT your master.
You can always measure a man by the amount of opposition it takes to discourage him. When the water starts to rise, you can also. You can go over, not under! “Obstacles across our path can be spiritual flat tires…disruptions in our lives seems to be disastrous at the time, but end by redirecting our lives in a meaningful way.”
The truth is…if you find a path with no obstacles, it is most likely a path that doesn’t lead anywhere important. Adversity is the mother of invention, and man’s adversity is always God’s opportunity.
Difficulty gives birth to opportunity.
What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude towards it. Every
opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity. “Show me someone who has
done something worthwhile, and I’ll show you someone who has overcome adversity.” (Lou Holtz)
Many people have good intentions, but when something bad comes their way they simply stop.
Every path has a puddle, but puddles can be the tools by which God shapes us for better things.
Remember, the travel is worth of the travail when you’re on the right road. If we would just recognize that life is difficult, things would be much easier.
“Every problem has in it the seeds of it’s own
solution. If you don’t have any problems, you
don’t get any seeds.” Norman Vincent Peale
Watch out for emergencies…they are you big chance! Live you life so that you can say…”I’ve had a life full of challenges, thank God!”
Have a great day team!
Sherry & KentJ
