War against ourselves - A self imposed tyranny

A year ago we stood to see, experience, and FEEL the costs of health care quadruple over the course of the next ten years if the rate of obesity growth didn't shift in reverse.  One year later, instead of shifting in reverse or even slowing down, our rate of obesity growth has increased.   Sadly we are inadvertently waging a war against ourselves, our resources, our economic health, our job markets, our nation as a whole, and our over all happiness.  The spill over affect from this one area will make the spill over from the crashing housing market look like a barely noticeable blip on the radar screen.

People bitch all the time about how the economy sucks, how there are only minimum wage paying jobs, how the cost of everything is too expensive, how unhappy in general we are, but yet we keep gaining weight and largely dismissing our nations obesity epidemic as "fuzzy math".  Collectively we deserve the sand box we have made for ourselves.  Let's change a few things so that we can deserve a BETTER sandbox for tomorrow.  But first we seriously need to find our guts and see the mess we are in for what it is.  Only the truth can set us free, no matter how painful it is, to make the changes we need to make to change everything for tomorrow.

The apathy and the selfishness that plagues all that is devastating our country has got to be overcome and outright CRUSHED with people willing to step up and help their fellow people lead healthy, happier, more fulfilling lives.  It can't be just a "take care of myself and let the next do the same" philosophy anymore because that isn't working.  Show others how they can take care to while being kind to yourself.  Consequently you to will be a happier more fulfilled human being if you're helping to make a positive impact in other peoples lives.  Put yourself FIRST but do it in a selfless way so that you are more capable of helping others take care to.

I am absolutely calling out to people to join my team and I in the Team Beachbody coaching opportunity.  WE NEED MORE PEOPLE WHO DESIRE TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE.  If more people don't step up to help their fellow people then our economy as well as our health and happiness will feel more like a self imposed tyranny.

I practice what I'm preaching.  I focus my actions where my mouth is.  I'm personally positively impacting peoples lives one by one.  Over time the number of people I'm positively impacting is adding up into big numbers.  My team collectively has already positively impacted thousands of lives and that number continues to grow.  Sadly in a country of 300 million plus people it's just not enough.  We need YOU to pitch in and help.

What are YOU personally doing to contribute?

It doesn't matter in terms of our nations health and well being if you do this with or without financial compensation.  If you have the extra time and resources and don't want extra money step up and help your fellow people get healthy.  If you're like me and want to be financially compensated so you can give back even more than you could have otherwise then step up and help your fellow people get healthy via the Team Beachbody coaching opportunity: http://PassionFitness.info Click the Coach link and Call me so that I can help you get started the right way.

With or without financial compensation lets all of us step up and get started.   A GREAT future lays ahead if we have the guts to claim it for ourselves as a TEAM effort!

"Unhealthy eating and physical inactivity are leading causes of death in the U.S. People are dying. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, unhealthy eating and inactivity cause 310,000-580,000 deaths every year—similar to the number of deaths caused by tobacco and 13 times more than are caused by guns" - cspinet.org

"By the age of five most children have early signs of atherosclerosis and letting our children choose their own diets is like letting someone without a driver's license drive in a NASCAR race. Somebody needs to teach children how and why to eat and the schools aren't going to do it. In fact many schools have sold out to the soft drink and fast food companies and even have candy sales to raise money" - hiltonheadmedctr.com
