Hi All,
Recently, my wife and I, attended a short meditation with a home group.
A quote from that session made me think and I hope it makes you think.
"What will you do when you know you cannot fail?"
I'm not going to answer that for you, as you know the answer already.

Eat less meat
Hi ALL,
I have no intention of becoming a vegetarian, however my wife and I have been researching our health now for some years and we are changing the way we eat. As you are probably aware "it is what we eat that determines our health and our ability to ward off disease" With this in mind we would not put used dirty oil in our brand new car for it' 10,000klm service , so why feed our body junk.
In the last few years I have put on a gradual amount of weight. Don't get me wrong..I'm not obese and Jennifer loves me being cuddly...but I do know that I need to trim it a little. I have gone from an active job working 8-10 hours a day to sitting behind a desk and computer. So this has not helped my 'spread' We walk daily for at least 40 minutes, but still I need to control my weight.
The answer has to be in what we eat.
My research tells me that I must consume more plant-based foods and fewer meat- based ones.But I love my meat! My typical day would be a cereal with milk for breakfast, sweat biscuits or cake for mid-morning, a good hearty lunch, usually deep fried, from a snack bar.During the course of the day I would drink a large amount of flavoured milk with probably a scary amount of sugar added. The evening meal was based around 2 or 3 vegetables with a good sized portion of meat like steak or chicken. Rarely would I have fish. And to top this all off....3 glasses of good red wine.
Whilst looking at my diet and health in general I have discovered some facts that I would like to share with you here.
We are going around this in reverse.
But back to my change in eating habits.
Meat is not a part of our evening meal anymore.
I have seen an improvement in my health because of it and I am losing weight.
We are eating more plant-based foods and loving it.
We may eat meat at our weekly restaurant outing but that's all, So we are not strict-vegetarian.
I trust this has given you something to think about.
Till next time

- There are 10 animals raised for food every year for each person on this planet. That's 60 billion.
- By 2050that consumption will increase to 120 billion.
- To grow grain for food, you expend 9.2kj of energy to yield only 4.2kj of protein. however if you process that grain for animal feed, and add to that the animal's other requirements- land use, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, machinery, transport, antibiotics and last but not least water- you're responsible for 167kj of energy to get that same 4.2kj of protein.

Colds and Sore Throats
Hi ALL,
Recently I visited a friend who informed me that she had a cold and a sore throat.She was sucking on a medicated throat lozenger and before too long she took another one from her pocket. This spiked my interest and I suggested an alternative. She did not recall of my 'interest' in alternative health but I have mentioned to her in the past that we (my wife and I) were researching alternative health and taking a more active role in our health care.
I gave here my health tip for sore throats and colds.
You are probably wondering what it is ....aren't you?
Well it is quite simple really. Some of you will have it in your kitchen however If not I suggest you get some of this magic formula next time you are grocery shopping.
It is .....yes wait for it......coarse grains of sea salt.
You simply suck on a small quantity of the grains 3 or so times in a day, till all signs of the sore throat or cold have disappeared. Simple hey! Don't swallow the grains, suck on them till these dissolve.
And if you get leg cramps ...Do the same.
Stay away from medications as they have a detrimental effect on our overall health.
In future articles I will talk about other health issues.
I look forward to your comments.

Mind, Body and Spirit
Hi All,
How often have you heard someone say "If only I knew this when I was younger"?
I am excited because as I am approaching my 60th birthday, I have more energy, intelligence, health and all the accumulated knowledge of the past 50 plus years.
Think of all the things you have learnt in your lifetime, and can you imagine learning just as much again in the next 20-40years?
I believe learning has everything to do with staying young in mind body and spirit.Once we become stagnant or inactive, we begin the decline commonly known as 'old age' or 'aging'. You often retirees saying "I have never been busier or busier in my life than now" Their life now is not regimented to working 9 to 5 and they take on a new life of learning. They often write books, operate websites,teach classes, travel and are models for successful living.
These are the things you can adapt into your life, they art easy and simple.
I will talk about these things in my future posts and I will be incorporating them into my website where I will show you how to stay young in mind, body and spirit.

Failure
Hi ALL,
I was reading something that I think is of value to you, I know it was value for me.
In every project I have done, I realise that failure is part of winning and sometimes when we fail we look down on ourselves.
The author said that it is easy to lose faith because other people may withdraw their support or criticise your efforts and this can tempt you to turn on yourself and your efforts to succeed. This is the critical point in the process- Don't give up - failure belongs here.
See the people who don't fail aren't trying anything. So if you fail don't feel bad, If someone criticises you, just reject it - they don't know what you know and where you are going, and do you know something....You don't need them to get there! You need your own faith in yourself.
Re-evaluate your goal and say to yourself....I'm going to get there... And don't let the fact that you have failed get in your way.
I have failed many times and I am still going forward in leaps and bounds....

We have infinite potential
Hi all,
You know something.... We have infinite potential. No one can measure what you and I can do. We have intellect and we live in a physical body. We are also spiritual. But lets talk about the first two.
Between the intellect and the physical there is the emotions.
What is in control or who is in control of your emotions? Is your intellect controlling your emotions OR is the outside world controlling them? Good Question!
You see.... If your intellect is not in control of your emotions and the outside world is in control you are not in control of yourself, your'e not in control of the results you are getting and this is the way most people live. Not being in control!!
We have to wake up and say " I am in control of my emotions and I am going to take control of my world and take control of results that I want to achieve".
I want you to ask yourself.....
Am I in control of my emotions or is the TV?
Am I in control of my emotions or is the NEWSPAPER?
Am I in control of my economy or is the MEDIA getting to me?
We have to ask ourselves those questions.
Ask " who is incontrol of ME?

Your Right to be Rich.
Success in life is becomming what you want to be. And you can become what you want to be by making use of things. You can have the free use of things only if you become rich enough to buy them. Therefore an understanding of the laws of the universe and the science of getting rich is the essential of all knowledge.
You know that I am right and unfortunately this is a subject that is not taught in schools. We are not taught how to earn money. We are not taught how to be rich. Why is that? And infact most people become offencive when you talk about it. Why do people do that? Probably because they don't realy understand it.
You know most people just say they want to do good, well without money how can you do good? you can give of your time, but if you could become rich you can do so much more.
If you contact me I will send you a copy of a book titled ' Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill free of charge (just pay the postage or pass it on) and you will learn how to become rich.
I saw a program on television some time ago about a young lady from country New South Wales who went to Africa and fell in love. She fell in love with the people and she has done GOOD. She has built a school for over 850 poor children. ( its probably 1000 now) Her name is Gemma Sisia. Her school is called 'School of St Jude' in Tanzania in East Africa. She is doing good but she needs money to follow through with her good work.
Her motto is ....Fighting Poverty Through Education.....
Check out her story at.... www.abc.net.au/austory/content/2005/s1435647.htm
I would like you to spend the next 4 or 5 minutes thinking about how you can become rich and do good!
Thankyou
