Even though I have to work this weekend, I am looking forward to it. The company that I work for is a manufacturer of safety supplies and personal protective equipment and I was the lucky one that was chosen to represent our company at one of the biggest shows of the year. The show is put on by one of our customers and it is actually called The Big Event.
I know that I may sound crazy because I am looking forward to working this weekend, but the reason is I am going to have the chance to show what I am capable of doing. You see, I have only been with this company for a short amount of time and I just recently got placed in the position of Western Region Sales Manager(thanks to all the training that I received through my MLM company, ViSalus), so this is my first opportunity to show the big guys that I can take care of business.
Another reason that I am excited is because my MLM company is starting to hit momentum and we are just getting in to our international expansion, so I won't be with my current employer for too much longer because of how fast my income is growing. So I am not crazy like you might have been thinking after reading the first couple of sentences. Well maybe a little, but I do have a method to my madness.:)
I hope that all of you have a great weekend and I look forward to tweetin with some of you throughout the weekend. Take care and no matter what you have planned for this weekend, enjoy it while it lasts, cause we are never guaranteed to make it through. Remember, one today is worth two tomorrows.
Take care and live with passion!

Lose Weight & Feel Great
If you remember in my last blog post I talked about how 67% of America is overweight and more than half of them are obese. What are we doing today to start to reverse that trend?A good friend and co-worker of mine, Krystal Kaiser, Has just lost 40 pounds in the last 3 1/2 months. Here is her story:
"I have tried almost all the diet programs out there from eating salads when I was younger to Atkins to diet pills and even counting calories and points. And for a short period of time they would work, then after about 5-10 pounds of weight loss, they would stop.'
'After I started on the ViSalus TSS program, I lost 10 pounds in my first two weeks and 3 1/2 months later I am down a full 40 pounds! I am actually wearing clothes that I haven't worn since high school. I even got a little mad at Dallon for helping me because I don't fit into the clothes that I got for Christmas already. :) I can live with that though. I have never found a program that is this complete and works this well for me. And if I can do it, anyone can. Thanks ViSalus and thank you for telling me about this Dallon."
As you can see in the above picture, Krystal is looking great and feeling even better. To find out more about her story, visit http://www.krystalkaiser.com/.
To me there is nothing more gratifying and pleasurable than helping somebody reach their goals. I have always read and heard that if you want to get everything in life that you want, simple help enough people get what they want.

Until next time, live with passion and be well.

To Your Health!
I don't know about you, but I think it is pretty scary that America is the richest country in the world, but we are ranked 37th in world health. More than 67% of our population is overweight and half of those people are considered clinically obese. For the first time in the history of the world there are more overweight people than starving people. Another first in the last couple of thousand years is that the life expectancy of our kids is shorter than ours. We are actually going backward in terms of life expectancy.
If we don't start to do something about these problems very soon, they are going to continue to grow exponentially. I believe that one of the main reasons for not only the state of American health, but the state of world health being in such a bad place is that we as people are reactive. We never really do anything about our health until something bad happens.
We need to make the choice to be proactive with our health. Did you know that 70% of degenerative diseases are preventable? That is if you eat right, supplement and get a decent amount of exercise. But when we don't do anything to prevent them from forming, they will take over our bodies and literally kill us.
When I say supplement, I am talking about vitamins. The reason I am a huge advocate on vitamin supplements is that it is nearly impossible to get all the nutrients and minerals from the food you eat on a daily basis. Even if you eat all organic foods, it is hard to get the right amounts of what your body needs daily.
It doesn't matter what kind of vitamins you take, anything is better than nothing. Now don't get me wrong, there are vitamins out there that are better than others, but as long as you are taking something you will be better off than taking nothing.
When you go to look for a vitamin supplement that is right for you, make sure that you get one that is chelated. Your body can only absorb 2-4% of a non-chelated vitamin. Whereas with a chelated product your body can absorb up to 50 times more than a non-chelated product. All chelated means is that the minerals and nutrients are attached to an amino acid so that your body can recognize them and absorb them. There are nutrients and minerals in rocks and pebbles right, but can your body extract them and use them? I doubt it.
So it is time now for we as people to start being proactive with our health. Make the decision today to not take your health for granted. You only get one body in this lifetime, treat it well and it will return the favor. It is amazing what your body can do when it has everything that it needs on a daily basis for optimum health. And remember that without good health, nothing else matters cause you can't enjoy life while you are struggling to get by every day.
Till next time, be proactive and not reactive.
You're the Best! Love Ya!

To Your Life!
Congratulations! You've made it! Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. What you have the ability to do today is going to echo throughout all the tomorrows of your life. All you have to do is decide what it is that you want to do with your life, and then get started on it.
You see, who you are today is not who you really are. All you are today is a compilation of everything that you have done in your life up to this point, or who you were. You can change who you are at any moment, you just have to figure out what you want your life to be like and start taking small actions today.
There is an old saying that made this very clear to me, "if you continue to do what you have always done, you will continue to get what you've always got." Therefore, for things to start changing in your life, you must start changing. That is as simple as it gets.
There is another saying that scared me a little when I first read it, "One definition of insanity is to do the same things over and over and expect different results." I realized that myself and everyone that I knew was either completely insane or borderline insane. That is when I decided to start doing things differently.
I also heard a statistic that stated the average person has some 60,000 thoughts a day, and more than 90% are the same as yesterday! Again, if you want things to change, you have to start changing yourself and the things that you think about on a daily basis.
Now, I didn't write all this to scare you or to make you angry, I just wrote this to let you know that you have the power to drastically change your life at any moment that you want to. I know for a long time I didn't want to take responsibility for the way that my life was, but at the exact moment that I started taking responsibility, my life began to change in so many positive ways.
Think about this for a moment, one today is worth at least two tomorrows. Never put anything off till tomorrow that can easily be done today. We are never guaranteed that tomorrow will even come for us, so don't wait till then to show people that you love them, or to help people out, do it today. Cause even if you are here tomorrow, they might not be.
Till next time, live with passion and take control of your life today!
You're the Best! Love Ya!
