Good Morning/Afternoon-Morning weigh in was not a success as in we lost, I won’t get to involved other than we must have enjoyed that shrimp boil on Saturday more that we thought, the am will give us the facts and I will share more then. We are on the crest of a wave of success and this is a bump in the road and we go on from here. It happens-we don’t throw up the hands and quit or cry, combined loss in 10 weeks is 54lbs ( we are pleased for one another).
I’ve made a decision to read through Brigs’ book three times, first to get a good feel for it, second with pen and yellow highlighter(this is where I am now) and a third time with a journal to take some notes to grow by. It really is amazing what you can learn this way.
Success Principle
“Stick to what you know. Don’t expect what you don’t inspect on a regular basis. Trust but verify. It’s called good stewardship.”Brig Hart
I started thinking about the amount of money that is spent on weight management products annually (these figures are for the US only) and it is more than staggering it is totally mind boggling. They tell us it is around $60,000,000,000.00 (yes that is 60 billion $$$), so let’s look at it this way about $164,383,561.66 US Dollars are spent on Weight Management “DAILY” – That is 24/7/365 days a year. Or (and I like this one) if you Had $60 billion to spend you could spend $165.4 million a year for 365 years and with interest you would “NEVER” run out of money (that is $450,000 and walking around change a day-just in case you were wondering ;>)… Now you tell me that this is not a lucrative business to be in… Thank you MonaVie and RVL. Where else can you have an opportunity to get a piece of a pie that is this “HUGE” and for under $50.00…? Well???
Ok moving along- time for a Brigism “Don’t take life to seriously, you aren’t going to get out of it alive anyway”Brig Hart
I take this to mean we have to “discipline our disappointment” (Jim Rohn)- people are going to tell us no (sometimes-it happens) but hey they pay baseball players with a batting average of 300 - $3,000,000.00 a year –that means they strike out 7 out of ten times to bat, that’s not to shabby. So how thick is your skin going to be to get your share of the $60,000,000,000.00 pie. Like I’m talking Rhino Willie here folks- yeah baby- Rhino!!! (I’m learning).
Now before someone jumps all over me about “The Evils of Money” a few points that I have come by. 1. Money is Amoral: That is it isn’t good or bad. It’s whose hand you put it in the makes the difference..! 2. Money merely magnifies or makes you more of what you already are… You can give it all away if you want, but just think of all the lives you will affect along the way with better health.
Let me wrap this up with a motivational quote (can ya take anymore??) before you hit the delete button.
"Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. What you see reflects your thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see."
