Day 15, Sunday May 2nd

Nolan Ryan almost quit baseball after his rookie year... when asked why he didn't he said:
"I couldn't help believing that if I found the right situation, the right atmosphere and surrounded myself around the right people, then I could turn this around and really do what I wanted to do out there . . ."

One week from today is our phase 2 meeting and our first seminar. It will go from 7:30 a.m. SHARP until about 9:50 a.m. Please be on time. This is a great seminar and will help put each of you into the next gear. Remember that this is a process.... like Nolan Ryan had wished: right now all of you are in the right situation, learning from the right people in the right atmosphere and there never be a more opportune time in YOUR LIFE to "do what you really want to do out there . . ." As Nick and so many others have expressed, it isn't just about the diet, this is about changing your body, changing your mind and eventually changing your life. Do what we ask and dare to prove us wrong....

    Tom I added a little collegen to the brown rice, not much just a drop and it made a world of difference...Any objections?

  28. Some general food for thought... success is all about momentum because through momentum we build better habits and therefore new neuro-networks in the brain. As we develop new habits old connections break away and eventually you PREFER the new choices that we created... this is the new mind, the new you and through THAT PROCESS comes your new body. The art of self-sabotage is an old one, many have been there and done that way too many times... so if insanity is doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting a different result then guess what? It won't happen.
    "I never said it would be easy... I said it would be WORTH IT."
    Many of you have broken through, some are still struggling, for those still struggling hopefully Sunday will get you over the hump. Until then, don't find another old reason to fail, find a NEW reason to succeed.
