Alright kiddies, now that Oprah's over it's time to start thinking for yourselves! No disrespect to her, but if I hear the phrase "Oprah says you shouldn't eat that" one more time I could scream!
It's amazing how many people took their nutritional advice from someone who yo-yo'd with their weight as much as the "Big Oh" did.
"She's got tons of money though."
Well, if that's your only argument, and all it takes to be taken seriously is a heavy bank account, then we are all in some serious trouble ‘cause there's a lot of wealthy people in this world with minimal IQ levels!
...Call my Bluff?
Two words - Paris.Hilton ...Checkmate!
People are so obsessed with encountering wealth that they are literally wasting their lives trying to find any sort of shortcut they can to obtain financial independence. Which really leads to one thing...
Money; it's blinding!
I find humour in certain day-to-day conversations held between other people. Yes - I eavesdrop! One thing in particular that I love over hearing are all the excuses people come up with for filling their shopping cart with processed garbage.
"I would eat healthy but it's too expensive!"
The reason I find this statement so humorous is, in all honesty because I used to feel the same. It wasn't until I made that same exact comment to my Aunt, who is a follow fitness advocate which lead to her to providing me with one of the best quotes I have ever heard in my 24 years of life;
"The best investment you'll ever make is in yourself!"
... I know, that's deep right? Not only have those nine words stuck in the back of my head for all this time, they have provided me with the secret that most people are frantically searching for and since I'm feeling generous here it is;
The Secret; DO SOMETHING!!!
"That it?!?! Three syllables! That's your answer?!?!"
Now, now. Temper, temper. Relax a little and really think about it. It's great that you have started to set your goals but here's a little tip:
Actions; they're louder then words!
If you want to lose weight: do something about it! You can't wish the pounds off.
If it's financial independence you seek: get up and go find it! Stop waiting on the 6/49 (Canadian lottery) and go get it!
It's 2011 folks and guess what? There's still no meal replacement pills or floating shoes! You have to chew your own food and take your own steps (just not at the same time, I don't want anyone choking on advise from my posts!).
With all sincerity; If you put everything you have into something you desire, your results will be astonishing! Who deserves to feel the gratitude of knowing just how remarkable they can be more then you? Because I can assure you, not even Oprah her self can buy you that kind of satisfaction!
So in the words of my good friend Van Wilder;
"Don't take life too seriously or you'll never get out alive."
