"CHANGE" your need into a want

You may not even recognize that it's time

 for you to  make some changes....

"think about it"

 Lifestyle changes 

There is an incredible P O W E R unleashed 

when you make a decision to change

How amazing the human mind is, 
yet it's nothing without the power of the Human Spirit

We can place our Minds on idle or we can tap into the power of change and soar to the stars.

"Impossible Dream"

To dream the impossible dream

To fight the unbeatable foe

To bear with unbearable sorrow

And to run where

the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong

And to love pure and chaste from afar

To try when your arms are too weary

To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest

To follow that star

No matter how hopeless

No matter how far

To fight for the right

Without question or pause

To be willing to march,

march into hell

For that heavenly cause

And I know

If I'll only be true

To this glorious quest

That my heart

Will lie peaceful and calm

When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be

better for this

That one man, scorned

and covered with scars,

Still strove with his last

ounce of courage

To reach the unreachable,

the unreachable,

The unreachable star

And I'll always dream

The impossible dream

Yes, and I'll reach

The unreachable star 

The Impossible Dream is a "POSSIBILITY"

when we change our Needs into a WANTs

We become a POWERFUL life force

For us to change our Need into a want we need to:

•  SPEAK it outloud... over and over and over again
•  Take our Vitamins and Eat HEALTHY life giving foods
•  EXERCISE - to detox and free up our body to receive  Life giving Oxygen
• To FEED our Soul and Spirit the Life giving Word of a "living God"

TO believe in the Mind and Body that was

 given to You by a Creator 

who made you in HIS IMAGE!  

The same Creator of the UNIVERSE who made the delicate rose

and CHOOSE to have a delightfully fragrant flower with thorns on it's stem

HE has A PLAN for you

Get HEALTHY so you can achieve what was to BE

Find the Child in you that is FREE TO BELIEVE!

Happy Easter 

Ciao

Are you a Popeye or a Wimpy in your choices

Eat now Pay later attitude

Yes,  You make a choice to eat what "taste" good and then freak out when your told your Cholesterol is over 200 and you are a Borderline Diabetic
(actually, no such thing as a "borderline" diabetic... you are actually seen by your Doctor as a   Type 2 Diabetic , just  not on medication...
you will be on medication unless you change your lifestyle choices  )

Wimpy   is Popeye's friend. In the cartoons he mainly plays the role of the "straight man" to Popeye's outbursts and wild antics. Wimpy is soft-spoken, very intelligent, and well educated, but also cowardly, very lazy, overly parsimonious and utterly gluttonous. He is also something of a scam artist and, especially in the newspaper strip, can be notoriously underhanded at times.

How is it you can be 

soooooo intelligent

and 

yet 

soooooo stupid? 

  

Ahhhhh to be human!

He made the Message Clear "Spinach" for Strength
and did you ever relate that he said
" I YAM what I YAM"
Yams and Spinach .... wow

Popeye is depicted as having superhuman strength, though the nature of his strength changes depending on which medium he is represented in. Originally, the comic-strip Popeye gained his strength and invulnerability in 1929 by rubbing the head of the rare Whiffle Hen.^[3] From early 1932 onward, especially the cartoons, Popeye was depicted as eating spinach to become stronger. The animated shorts depicted Popeye as ridiculously strong but liable to be pummeled by the much larger Bluto before his eating of the spinach.

TIP for the DAY:    
When making lifestyle choices today

ASK your self

Do I want to be a Wimpy or a Popeye?

Truth is sometimes found in the silliest of things

Spiritual truth about making choices :

The price of Sin (Selfishness)
sin now, pay later
Nice to know that Eternal Life is a GIFT!
just ask to receive

Who ever turns down a gift? ...
Those who believe they must "do it themselves"  (be their own God)

Romans 6:23  

²³ For the wages of sin is death,
but 
the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Health is a gift until YOU you abuse your health with
lifestyle choices that are gluttonous.

God will take way the gift of health 

if you show no appreciation for it and misuse it.

   

If you're in the minority of people who's lifestyle choices didn't contribute to your health issues.... There is a BIG GOD that has a message for you
He's got a plan... rest in him and feel the miracle of his strengths and Joy in the mist of your pain while seeking healing.

Salute to Your Health and Wellness today

P S     GLUTTONY is considered a sin in the bible=  Proverbs 23:20-21

Hide and Seek Diet or "A do it yourself diet"

Matthew 7:7-11

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall 

find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

 ⁸ for every one that asketh receiveth; 

and he that seeketh findeth; 

and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

 ⁹ Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;

 ¹⁰ or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?

 ¹¹ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, 

how much more shall your Father who is in heaven 

give good things to them that ask him?

Playing hide and seek as a kid was one of my best memories!   

But  to  " SEEK" (looking) .... was and  is an action!

As a kid you couldn't just stand in the middle of the yard looking..  

ya had to walk around!  

Physically Explore... 

use your thinking about where someone could hide... 

then be ready if you found them to RUN AFTER THEM AND TAG THEM

whatever you want in life... whatever you desire in life.... whatever goals you set ahead of yourself to achieve

Set your goals

Get a Vision

Make your Dream a reality

SEEK IT!  

Actively look for it

Use your brains to figure out how and where you can find it

and when you do find it... CHASE IT with all your energy and Catch it!

Funny how  simple childhood games  are really "life lessons" 

Caio

Salute! To your Health and Wellness

For me today it's all about "seeking" my  balance  

Reach for the Brass RING - or just ride and get dizzy

Reach for the Brass Ring

*****************************************************

While taking a 10,000 step walk the other morning, I watched a young women (in her 30's) jog past me.   She came to a large bank of stairs and S P R I N T E D up the stairs two steps at a time.  two steps at a time. two steps at a time.  two steps at a time.   

Dang!   I started out last year with making a goal of being more active and exercising everyday for at minimum 15 minutes.

Well, I reach my goal..... DUMB!

It smacked  me like the moon hitting my eye like a big pizza pie!

I set my Goal ToOOOOoooo low!  Ok ok so it was good to start of slow but geese louise One year later - what a great lesson to learn (sorry it took me a year + to get it)

So, I set some new goals! 

REACH HIGHER!

 I will think more of myself to believe in myself and make it happen.  

If it's to be it's up to me.

One year from today
Physically,  I will be jogging 1 mile without passing out and be able to sprint up those stairs!

While I'm at it... One year from today I will be at my ideal weight (no, I'm not saying it!)  ok,  here's accountability 55.791 kg (you do the math)

Mentally I WILL read a book a month (dang I start books and do not finish them... maybe cause I jump around and never start on the first page and work to the end)
AND I will be ACLS certified by the end of this summer.

Spiritually I WILL be reading a Praying every day for 1.2 hrs a day (tithe 10% of my day to the Lord)  .... Yes that will be 30 in the morning , 20 minutes at noon 30 minutes before bed.   YES,  I know that if my spiritual man is anemic it will impact me physically and mentally.

Just like when your physically not healthy it impacts you mentally/emotionally an spiritually.
Or when you mentally cook-coo it will impact you physically and spiritually.

IT's ALL CONNECT  

So get Balanced and Get on Board

Your friends are waiting for you to get on and get healthy

Ok,  Jump on board and make the commitment for EASTER.  Heck, golly gee why is New Years the only holiday to make a fresh start.

If you don't believe in yourself, how can you expect others to believe in you

Philippians 4

¹³I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

and

⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 ⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹ Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Ciao
and buona  fortuna to your efforts 

(kind of scary.... my fascination with Dean and Disney!)

I'm on the phone

No call waiting,  Busy tone,  A real Operator, 

UL3-1212 (Weather), no Messages to listen too

Having to "share" the one phone line

Wow, A Real Phone 

Our lifestyles have changed

Our Lives have Not

Because

OUR Needs are the same

Still needing to be Heard

Still needing to be Loved

Still needing to be needed

just waiting for someone to call 

and say I really care

Matthew 7:12

 ¹²"In everything, therefore, 

treat people the same way you want them to treat you 

Make a check list of what you really NEED

Make a check list of what you really WANT....

Then find Balance

by Wanting only what you NEED

You need Healthy Well Balanced Foods

You Need Daily Activities/Exercises

You Need Daily  Spiritual  Food and Exercise 

You Need to Exercise and Feed Your Mind Healthy Thoughts

What "Wants" do you have that are not the same as the "Needs" you have?

T y p e   u p  a  L i s t!

I want __________________, Is not the same as I need ______________.

Therefore say " I want ______________because I need it".

Ciao!

Salute! To you Health and Wellness and "finding" Balance
