CHANGE HAS TO COME

I recently gave a presentation at work on health and I hope they have listened to what I`ve said as most people hear but they don`t listen....I know something got across to them as it's now day 4 and they go to the lunch room knowing that they have to think carefully about the food choices they make and the bacon eating has gotten much less.
I`ve spoken to various groups before but this time I was a little angry...I have a close friend fighting to stay alive and she bought cancer, went to the checkout line and paid for it although getting warnings.......
She smoked and ate badly for years, add a stressful job and that equals cancer.
In case we have forgotten please remember the goal in life is to keep your body alkaline. The more acidic we are the more all kinds of illnesses come in to visit, only thing is some stay even taking over the house and pushing us out.
It's no use repenting after the event .....We should try to PREVENT.
I know change is hard ,look at President Obama trying to introduce change to America..... If you listen to the conservative media, you would believe that Americans want him to fail it's as if failing won`t affect them too. The whole world should be behind him. They should be finding out how they can help him affect change as it's the wasteful lifestyles of the past that got us here and WE ALL NEED TO CHANGE.
I listened to Ali Belshi interview Tim Gietner and all he wanted to know is who asked Dodd to okay the loophole for the bonuses for companies that got bailout money.....who cares? The Obama administration has been in power for 59 days. 59 DAYS! Feeling their way out of this maze.... how Tim Geitner sleeps is amazing to me. Give them a chance they are moving at the speed of light. They need to succeed!
But what I`ve learnt is , as a leader, deciding to make changes is the easy part, getting your people on board is much more difficult. Why is that? Quite simply, change is an emotional process. We are all creatures of habit who usually resist it, and welcome routine no matter how bad for it is for us....we are scared of change!
One thing we know for sure..... sameness is the fast track to mediocrity and mediocrity is the way to make sure that whatever you are planning to do in life won't survive. Our challenge is to convince people that for their health there needs to be a change of lifestyle and that the new world WE are trying to create is better than the one we're now in. Is it easy? Of course not. It takes planning, commitment, patience and courage. All characteristics that President Obama possess, so I have no doubt THAT CHANGE IS BOUND TO COME !
Remember change is a wonderful gift, it is the key that unlocks the door to growth and excitement and if you have a leader that inspires you, you will get out of your comfort zone and head to success.
All we have to do is let go, leave that dead ass job or if in these times the dead ass job has left you,no fear,it was going nowhere anyway and watch how doors are going to open with things that you would never have thought possible.
And while you are at it, change your eating habits and watch how great you are going to feel once you get those toxins out.....
