Life

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

What else are you going to do? Complain about it. That is the easy way out.

Life is always full of surprises. Sometimes life just isn't fair. One thing is certain in life, it is not what happens to you that matters, it is how you respond to what happens to you that will determine how your life will be.

You have the power and ability to make your life into anything that you want it to be. The one thing that we have complete control over in our lives is our thoughts. Our thoughts become things, literally. All the things that you use on a daily basis started as a thought in the mind of somebody many years ago.

Cars, computers, airplanes, phones, speakers and even light bulbs all started as a thought in the mind of the creators of these things. Thomas Edison had the thought that man was not meant to light his way through life with a lantern, so he created the incandescent light bulb. The Wright brothers had to think about a flying machine before they could ever make an airplane. There are millions of examples that prove that your thoughts become things.

In your life, you can focus your thoughts on exactly what you want to do or what you want to have, and with some imagination and hard work, you can get anything within reason. It costs you no more to dream big than it does for you to dream small, so go for those big dreams that you have.

One of my mentors once told me that life is nothing more than a series of memories strung together. I thought about it and he was right. Then he asked me if my memories were predominantly good or bad? Of course I had a mixture of good and bad, but the good outweighed the bad.

One of the core values of ViSalus is Life. We impact peoples life experiences(memories) through our community, through our products and most recently through our technology. If you want to start having better life experiences, plug into ViSalus. You will love what you find.

So life is all about experiences(memories). Experiences are the results of thoughts that you acted on at one time or another. And the only thing that we have complete control over is our thoughts. So start choosing your thoughts wisely, because at the end of your life, all you will be left with is the experiences and memories that you have acquired throughout your life.
