Quotes & Thoughts

Life-changing guidance and inspiration comes to us through a variety of channels all through our lifetimes. I have never considered myself a progressive, "creative" thinker. I do consider our medical director and leader, Dr Wayne S Andersen or our Business Leader, Dan Bell, "creative" thinkers and visionary. I’m more of a "springboard" thinker. I like to take someone else’s "creative" idea and apply it to my life and business. No reason to reinvent the wheel, right? Nancy and I have discovered that if the idea or thought is ethical, moral and character-based, it is worth consideration to be a "change agent" to our lives or business if we so choose to apply it.

In this section of our MakeMeThinner blog, I’ll be sharing how different quotes, sayings and thoughts have guided, inspired and influenced us and our business during our journey. Many of these "nuggets" came as we focused on our own personal development. Focusing on personal development is an important dynamic leading us in our success. These precious gems come from books we have read, CDs & DVDs, magazine articles and many other forms of media including quotes from notable thinkers, writers and artists.

No one fully "arrives" overnight or for that fact, in an entire lifetime. Our lives are changed and transformed by what we choose to permit to influence us. Many do not allow healthy "character nutrition" to shape their lives (they incorporate too much TV, video games, movies in their lives) and unfortunately, statistics point out that sixty six percent of Americans are not allowing "health nutrition" to be shaping them physically (they enjoy too much fast food life-style with far too much calorie-dense foods). Whether you are a guest browsing for information, one of our personal clients, or you are looking at possibly becoming a Health Coach on our team, our goal at MakeMeThinner is to add significance in two areas of your life, "character" and "health" nutrition.

Someone once stated that if you don’t continue to educate yourself with knowledge your life will become static and plateau. Nancy and I DO NOT want to live stagnant and motionless lives as they were before we successfully "reclaimed" our health on the Take Shape For Life program using the Medifast meal replacements. Nancy and I want to live and experience a life that is fulfilling, touches many lives for the betterment and leaves a legacy to be built upon. We sincerely feel we are achieving all of these goals through our Take Shape For Life business. We believe as you visit different areas of our blog, this will be obvious and evident to you. You may even want information on how you can join us. There is plenty of room and growth for all to enjoy the successes Nancy and I have enjoyed since we made that decision in July, 2002, to change our lives.

We hope you benefit from this area of our blog. Much of the material added in this section has had great influence on our lives and business. Like the other categories, it will be consistently added to over time. Visit us often as we will be updating this area regularly.

Rewards

We are always looking for rewards in life. As you leave the Indiana Jones theme park ride in Disneyland you are confronted with this sign, “Real rewards await those who choose wisely”.
In this day and age, with all sorts of false information and everyone looking for the all mighty ‘buck’, it’s difficult to know whether [...]
