“Test results are back and the prognosis doesn’t look good…”

My wife’s Doctor was a nervous wreck after she reviewed her file. We have all taken tests from the Doctors office and stressed over the outcome of the results; usually everything checks out okay, what do you do when they don’t? Surprisingly her Doctor was stunned and frankly a nervous wreck while she was going over the test results with my wife, all the while my wife took the news ever so calmly. The Doctor was so stunned that she had to repeat that fact of my wifes calmness several times during the visit.

You can see the comedy in the statement above, the parallel of the Doctor being the wreck, while my beloved stays calm during the whole office visit. Yet as soon as my wife got home to tell me the disturbing news she started to unravel at the seams.

The Doctor’s reaction was rather unsettling for my gal. So this really got me thinking about the long term consequences of being financially unstable and the long term residual effects on your mind, your body and your spirit. We all know that eating the right foods seems more costly when you look at the up front costs. Have you ever considered what the back end long term costs on your wallet, not to mention your body and spirit. Living healthy is just as key to creating wealth and financial security in your life as managing your body.

Think about the state of our current health care system, the rising costs of medical coverage, insurance and medical treatment. Our state governed programs are maxed out with patients and stretched for funding at all levels. It’s not designed to handle the mass group of uninsured citizens of our great nation. The Doctors are taxed to the max with patients and many have no patience for people who neglect or defiantly treat their body with abuse.

Back to my topic neglect is abuse and I am sure that you have received a nudge or two from your primary care physician, possibly your dentist has mentioned a thing or two about your hygiene? Regardless avoiding the infection, symptom(s), infections whatever you are dealing with only leads to greater problems and increased risk of terminal illness.

Yes I said terminal illness, or you have the option to face the issue at hand and make a conscientious decision to address them at all costs no matter what lengths you have to go for. Otherwise you have made the choice to take on a life sentence of undesirable circumstances. The word is out on the street and you know exactly what you must do.

It’s entirely up to you on how to make a change, fortunately for you, your biggest challenge in front of you doesn’t have to depend upon just you alone. A simple team has been assembled for you, to provide you with support, advice, guidance and goal achievement. Making the transition doesn’t have to be difficult or painful.

Tackling any type of obstacle always starts with the end in mind, your outcome has to be clearly visualized and accepted before you will ever reach it. I know this now more than ever. Have you ever felt like a much needed change just wasn’t happening for you? Well ask yourself did you clearly see the end result, did you give the appropriate attention to the planning and organization of your required activities? Did you measure the results you were getting? How did they compare to your original projections, what could have been improved on?

I bring this up to you only because the news my wife’s Doctor gave her was shocking, now Teri has to make the same decision about her own condition that you have to make to take control, own her life with clarity, focus and vision. Funny thing was that the motivation factor wasn’t he news about test results it was the treatment. As soon as her Doctor said you have to take injections for life Teri looked up and firmly stated “what other options do I have?”

The fear of having to physically take insulin injections to control her diabetes was alarming, so her Doctor gave her a time line to make dramatic improvements or the only alternative was her injection recommendation. So in the end what does all of this have to say about you and your current circumstances?

Simply put you need to get involved in your financial affairs, it’s a proven fact that proper medical attention and monitoring are critical to your overall wellness factor, lack of money and reserves can become a problem if you don’t have the means to take care of your self. Your future retirement money not safe either. You didn’t just save money to pay for medical bills and Doctor visits. So in light of this profound idea and shift in thinking thanks to a good friend I recently connected with I have decided to make this exam painless to you and your pocketbook. Over the next two weeks I am setting up your diagnostic exam center fully equipped with the latest state of the art equipment.

Recent legislation has passed that will eliminate many of the unscrupulous characters currently posing as so called experts for financial hardships, loan modification consultants, credit repair services, debt settlement companies and all of the other take your money and provide you with no measurable results.

The office is open even during the construction phase I will have a general admission and registration page up by Saturday at the latest. Those of you who are seriously buried in debt, experiencing late payments, facing impending foreclosure or bankruptcy; those of you who have fallen victim to the crisis at hand with sudden job loss, diminishing pensions and retirement accounts there are solutions for you.

Solutions that can and will provide you with clearly outlined, manageable plans that are backed with legal advice and protection designed to give you the patient/client the ultimate experience in customer satisfaction. As the separate departments come on line you will be updated. Most people go through life with rose colored lenses on, ignoring the warning signs until it’s too late.

I know my wife doesn’t want to deal with the possible outcome of ignoring her situation, I also know you don’t want to deal with your health, your financial management, or your wealth creation choices without proper advice and input. Running down the road not looking for indications of measurement in improvement in your circumstances is like driving down the road with blinders on. You’re eventually going to crash.

Why not research, review and monitor your symptoms now and act on advice from trusted professionals to guide you in your healing process. You don’t need to do this alone.

I was watching the Bill Maher show last night and wow what an amazing delivery of realism and truth. You know when you catch certain conversations that lighten your spirit and open you eyes to a new idea or set of care values. So many people live jaded and unauthentic lifestyles. You know what I mean people put on fronts and facades to illuminate or elude a presence that isn’t true to that persons core beliefs and values.

Bill was interviewing Brad Pitt and they really hit it off on the wrong foot. Bill had an agenda and Brad wasn’t going to fall into the typical Bill Maher style. This energy that was created you could feel the vibe of resistance and friction going on between the two of them. As my buddy and I discussed the interview we both agrees that the interview wasn’t going well.

As soon as we hit on that note the show changed the conversation became present and really authentic. Brad and Bill both started a smooth dialect and found a core principle to grow off of. This is when it hit me the conversation hit me when brad stated “You can’t tell people what to do”. Man this wasn’t anything short of purely amazing. I’ve heard it before yet lacked the understanding of what it truly meant.

It’s true you cannot motivate people who don’t want to change; you can only tell people what to do if they are ready to embrace the concept of change and integrate valuable wisdom into meaningful and sustainable results by creating positive focused actions. At this point I was sitting on the edge of my seat. Next Bill brought out some guest authors and a couple of other celebrity profiles such as Ashton Kutcher a retired general.

So the story escalated to heights of death panels, socialized national health care, and global warming the conversations were energetic and heart felt. Ashton was fantastic my views of him changed dramatically from the stoner in the basement of “that 70’s Show” to an interesting and engaging icon for reform and change. Speaking of how the “system” should be run to actually create value and results from a plan instead of wasting more useless dollars on reform that create more red tape and economic stress without the positive shift in results that it was intentionally meant to do.

Further more Bill’s witty journalism mixed with comedy took another jab at government reform. To the point of bringing up the recent study done that foretasted the negative side of global warming from a security stand point of view. Basically this was a real eye opener for me as to where the mindset of our Nation is going. I mean if our nation is gearing up for security due to possible global impacts of limited resources such as food, water and essentials for living we have to stop and ask ourselves “is what we are doing really the right thing?”.

This show really opened up my eyes in many areas, political death panels compared to Hitler’s campaign war on global warming and socialism of medicine and government health care. So back to my question are you living in the moment or caught up with panic, worry and confusion with all of the mixed messages.

You have to remember that we are born to win and conditioned to loose, I read that on a book cover and it truly rang out as 100% authentic. We as a society are conditioned to loose because wed let the system fail and now the system is failing us. As I stated you cannot tell people what to do. People decide what to do based on one of two inputs, factual or emotional. Most decisions come from heart and not head which is the way we are designed. The down side is that this little loophole has been exposed and exploited to manipulate our feelings and desires to produce someone else’s desired out come. Imagine if you weren’t exposed to all of the noise in everyday activities, politics, marketing, negative headlines, and we all lived in a state of bliss and ignorance that wouldn’t be any better. Here we defend our position that we must be informed.

Sure that’s true but it’s come down to where we as a society and a race need to be so engulfed with information it is actually causing health problems and national crisis. So where do we as a nation stand, what do we do and how do we get over it to make the change? If you can’t be told what to do then you had better be prepared to let the decisions of others shape your future while you are sitting on the sidelines as a spectator with no say in what happens.

Only you can tell yourself what to do, I can simply extend advise or suggestions it’s up to you to do the rest. This is why my model has been changing and will continue to evolve. Make the conscious decision to wake up and get real. Take life by the horns and ride it for all that it’s got to give.
