This Challenge to ‘Be the Change’ is about becoming a part of the solution (rather than part of the problem) to the ill health so many millions of men, women and now, even children, are suffering from at this very moment. I believe that we can each make a difference in this mission to transform the nation from worst to first. We do that by being the change. Only then can we authentically inspire others to transform.
 
Over the years, it’s become crystal clear to me that people can barely hear our well-intended words and advice about topics like this because what we do speaks so loudly. And so, through this Challenge, we have a great opportunity to simply make the way we are showing up in the world, and the way we live our lives, into our message to others. And what a powerful message it is when you break free from all the temptation and clutter in the modern world we live in and become truly healthy and happy. Make no mistake, it can be done. I've seen it happen over and over again… even in the most unlikely circumstances. This is powerful proof to me that you too have the ability to lift your experience of life to the next level.
 
Some people ask me, when I explain the above, if they can't just skip all the ‘greater good’ stuff and just get on with working out and eating right. I respond with a basic question, “If you could, then why haven't you done that already?” It’s about then that I'm asked to continue.
 
Being physically out of shape isn't 'cured' by just working out and eating a different way. You see, the condition of the body is a reflection of so much more than just exercise and eating habits. Truth is, our physical form is a manifestation of our thoughts, feelings, intentions… our collective ‘inner/non-physical condition.’ To achieve a sustainable and truly healthy change on the outside, we have to do the work on the inside. Good news is, when the inner transformation clicks, all the rest comes into coherence… not just for a few months either. The type of results I'm talking about feel even better than they look and they become long-term changes for the better.
 
And so, holding the intention of making a change and making a difference is vitally important. Selfish reasons and motives limit our energy sources to the individual will. Making a transformation to serve the greater good, on the other hand, is where the real powerful energy is at... the Spiritual Will. Tapping into that Higher Energy (HE) is something we'll work on each week as we move forward. For now, please hold that intention of being of service to the greater good in mind and in heart for the next few days and see if that feels right.

Over the next few weeks, I am going to be posting up the new book parts that Bill Phillips has posted for all of us to get a head start on the program.  Early knowledge can be beneficial in going through the book.  I owe a lot of what I do to the first book.  I may even take pictures this time. 

I have always believed in spiritual energy, and my focus (albiet differing from most) is essentially the same as others.  I like the working inside out aspect of this.  Cure the mind first and the rest will follow. 

I hope that you read and share your thoughts.
