Tip # 10: Seek and Shine

Continually seek the truth through books, articles, audio recordings, and speakers to increase your knowledge and to reinforce what you already know to be true.

Build a solid foundation of information about food, nutrition, and the ideal lifestyle that promotes and supports your body, your health, and your life.

This will take time and a lot of effort. It will take even more time and effort to put health principles into practice in your life.

But you are worth that effort.

Sometimes it will feel like wading up stream against the cultural current and popular myths believed in this country.

Sometimes you will get frustrated.

Sometimes you will get discouraged.

Sometimes you will doubt yourself.

Sometimes you will stumble and fall from the healthy path you have chosen.

Stumbling and falling are a part of the human process of learning, changing, and growing.

But if you persist in getting up after every fall, you will be rewarded a thousand fold for your efforts.

Could there be any greater reward in life than to be blessed with energy, mobility, comfort, joy, and purpose, until the end of your life?

It starts with the simple act of putting the right food into your body.

Search for support people along the way. Every once in a while you will meet an individual who not only knows the principles of life and health, but who walks her talk.

Learn from her and bask in her light.

Her light will help your light shine even brighter.
