Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

TAIslim - How it Benefit You

TAIslim For a Totally New You

Doctors and diet experts agree that there’s only one permanent way to lose pounds and inches, and that’s to burn more calories than you take in. But if you’ve failed with diet after diet, it’s not your fault. Trendy pills and potions use gimmicks to give you some early results, but the weight always returns. Over time, this yo-yo cycle of losing and regaining can actually slow your metabolism, making it even harder to lose weight. But now, FreeLife^® science has found the way to lose the fat and keep it off, and that’s TAIslim.

In Asia, the word tai signifies “total” or “complete.” And unlike any other diet you’ve ever tried, the comprehensive TAIslim plan addresses every key aspect of successful weight control. TAIslim is based on FreeLife’s revolutionary patent pending technology and research on the ability of the goji berry to reduce unsightly and dangerous belly fat.

Living Through Life's Pain

If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.
Dan Millman

Pain comes in many forms, but naturally it can be help/eliminated through the strength of ones mind or by drinking Ghi 3 each day along with Gochi(4 ozs).

Friendship

Be courteous to all but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence; true friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to appellation. George Washington

I thought this quote by Mr.Washington was very appropriate for the way I feel as we enter the Holiday Season.

Goji Berry may protect against skin cancer

A tiny red berry celebrated for its antioxidant qualities may also help protect against skin damage that leads to cancer, researchers believe.
Scientists at the University of Sydney fed diluted juice from the goji berry to mice in the laboratory and found it protected them against the same sun damage as other mice when exposed to harsh UV rays.
Another experiment showed skin cancer advanced slower in mice that had drunk goji juice.
Cancer specialists have cautioned that while the berry, strong in antioxidant properties, appears to act like a sunscreen in mice, it is untested on humans.
Goji juice has been the subject of bad press in recent years after tests by the Australian Consumer Association showed it was no more beneficial to health than standard fruit juices.
Dr Vivienne Reeve, from the university's Faculty of Veterinary Science, told a medical research conference in Brisbane on Monday that she fed mice either water or diluted juice and then exposed them to UV radiation to give them sunburn.
"The goji berry-drinking mice had significantly less inflammation of the skin," said Dr Reeve, who is a scientific adviser to a company that distributes the juice.
"And the juice seemed to protect the immune system because they didn't get immuno-suppression which is a major risk factor for skin cancer development in chronically over-exposed skin."
It also appeared to have protective properties against skin cancer growth, she said, with another experiment showing skin cancer-induced mice had significantly slower growing tumours.
"We haven't tested it on humans but this gives us every indication that we should if we want to help protect people from sun damage and disease," she said.
Cancer Council Australia chief executive Professor Ian Olver said the research was interesting but should be viewed with caution.
"Just because it works like sunscreen in mice does not mean it will do the same in humans as the two types of skin are very different," Prof Olver said.

Looking for the Keys to Contentment?

When we cannot find contentment in ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere." Francois de la Rochefoucald
Happiness and contentment may sound like the same thing, but there’s a difference. Happiness can be fleeting and elusive, but contentment is the deep and lasting feeling of comfort that comes with feeling that you’re OK with who you are, that you’re loved and supported, and that you’re satisfied with your situation in life. We all crave contentment, but far too few of us find it, perhaps because we just don’t know where to look.

Noted educator and author Dr. Linda Abbott Trapp offers some great advice for anyone looking to bask in the warm glow of contentment, which we paraphrase with our sincere thanks to Dr. Trapp:

Learn to want what you have, more often, more fully. If you’re too focused on what you don’t have, you may be blinding yourself to the many blessings around you. Give yourself more time to do the things that make you feel good about yourself. Stand back, look around you, give yourself a pat on the back, be grateful for what you have, and don’t forget to stop and smell the roses.

Savor the life stage you are in right now. If you'll spend a little time capturing your thoughts and feelings, even writing them in a journal, you won't overlook the valuable insights you have, right on the tip of your tongue. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be a bit more content with being who you are right now, at this age and in this place.

Avoid the cravings that lead to greed and discontent. Ambition's a healthy impulse, but greed is not. There is nothing wrong with wanting to improve your lot in life, but you must beware of the pitfalls that can come with overreaching. There’s truth to the saying “the more you get, the more you want,” and when that happens, you can say goodbye to contentment.

Balance ambition and repose. As previously stated, ambition is a healthy impulse, but the desire to aspire needs to be balanced by a good sense of knowing when to relax and appreciate what you’ve accomplished. Henry Ward Beecher's comment is very helpful: "We are not to make the ideas of contentment and aspiration quarrel, for God made them fast friends. A man may aspire, and yet be quite content until it is time to raise; and both flying and resting are parts of one contentment.

"And of course, we’d like to add another great tip for anyone seeking contentment:Drink 4 oz. (120 ml) of GoChi™ every day!

Holiday Pain

The Holidays can be the best of time and the most painful time of the
Year. It all depends on ones state of mind.

How will your holidays be this year? Will you obsess about what is wrong in your life or give thanks for the things you have been blessed with?. Will you look for alternatives to things that normally take you to that place of uncertainty, stress and pain, I hope so.

Stress during the holidays can rob you of precious time with love ones and embracing new holiday traditions. Keeping your focus on all the small stuff rather than embracing the positive can lead to all kind of health problems. I have witnessed stress and depression during the holidays lead to chronic pain in the body, emotional distress and trouble sleeping.

My hope for all is to try and stop fretting about thing we have no control over and put a positive spend on the holidays, the economy, jobs and realize concentrating obsessively on these thing can cause pain and make you sick.
