it it it doesn’t sustain itself We might might temporarily change our habits and patterns through self-restraint but
that alone will not keep us on on on the right path for any consid- erable length of time You see if we’re still the the the same on on the the the inside at at the the the level of our thoughts beliefs patterns and emotions we we simply haven’t achieved transformation in the deeper sense To get healthy and and stay that way we we we need need to to exercise and and eat right But we we often need need to to work on on ourselves beyond the body body We We must must examine our our our our limit- ing beliefs about our our our our body body and and and life life We We must must change our our our our mindset and and and heal emotional bumps and and and bruises that life life sometimes brings We must hold the intention of making healthy changes inside and out That’s what works in in in in in in my opin- ion ion based on on on years of experience helping people make the transformation from before to after and making it it last The good news is you can can do it! You really can!
The first step of success success is is is that you you must visualize yourself yourself successful successful You cannot accomplish anything
if you you you do not not not see yourself yourself successful successful However many people focus on on on their their limitations and and not not their their poten- tial Change
Change
means that we we must abandon our old self and and begin to speculate on on who we we could be be be Change
Change
means modifying our behavior enough so that it is permanent If we we are given the the the proper proper proper knowledge the the the proper proper proper understanding and and the the the proper proper proper instruction we we will begin to to see measurable feedback If we we make make the effort to to sit down and and and design a a a a a a a a a a a new life and and and we we make make it it the the most important thing
and and and you you spend time everyday taking massive action toward its attainment then you you you will see your results The second step to success success is you you must surround yourself with people who who who who are are are are successful who who who who are are are are forward-moving who who who who who are are are are positive who who who who who are are are are focused
on on on producing results and and who who who support you you This This will will expand your vision on on on what’s possible This This will will chal- lenge you you you you to be be more more more do do more more more and and share share more more more Never share share share your your vision with with people people who do do not believe in you you you you you Every time you you you you you you share share your your your your dream dream with with with these people people you you you you you you take life out of your your your dream dream Surround yourself with with people who will never let you you you you you settle for anything
less than all you can be The The third step to success is is you must realize that that change is is vital The The same kind of thinking that that has brought us us to to to where where we we are will not get us us to to to where where we we want to to to go Change
is is our greatest ally Yet so many people resist change justifying their their current strate- gies to to their their level level of of success Yet an an entirely different approach may be required to to produce a a a a a new level level of of success All of of of us need need to to expand our view of of of who we we are are and and what we we we are are are capable of of of We need need to to make certain the labels we we put on ourselves are are not limits but
enhance- ments I challenge you you you to to step up to to raise your standard and discover what you you you are truly capable of n n n n 30 NGA NATURAL mag
