Remember You are a human BEing, not a human DOing…so BE more about BEcoming who you were created to BE – not by the worlds standards or labels but by your true divine nature, made in the image of God
Independence Day vs. Interdependence Day – The difference may seem obvious but I would ask in the bigger picture of life is the all out drive for independence a good thing?
One of the L.I.F.E.V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. Life Principles being INTERDEPENDENCE is a reminder of how intertwined we human beings are. I recently read an article stating that the number one human condition is a deep sense of loneliness. We really were created for social connection – we need each other.

The labels this world tries to put on you just put you in a box that you were never meant to fit into…so limiting!
You were created for something very unique, beautiful, pure, righteous, joy filled and loving….you were created in the Image of God for good works. http://ow.ly/i/2kjMM
Going through some old files and came across this from when I taught USANA L.E.A.N. For Life classes in Carson City, Nevada (L.E.A.N. stands for Lifestyle-Education-Activity-Nutrition)
* Moderate Exercise
* Eat 5 Times Daily
* Protein at Every Meal
* Don’t Eat Trans Fats
* May 50% of All Food You Eat LOW-GLYCEMIC Foods
(In general, the more fiber, protein, or fat in a food, the lower the glycemic index. Foods that are highly processed or high in refined sugar or flours are typically high-glycemic)
I hope this is helpful information to help you be L.E.A.N. For Life – Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be Whole in Your Soul http://ow.ly/i/2iwPS
That’s right! No one else on the entire planet who has, is or will ever live, is created just like YOU! It really is mind blowing to me to try and grasp the concept of how INFINITELY creative God is!
We compare to no one. Yet, we live in a culture that so quickly tries to label us, categorize us, box us in, and compare us to everyone else. When we were really meant to find contentment in who we are as God created us to BE.
Every human BEing has a core originating identity with the blueprint of God’s image. Yes, God’s image! So AMAZING! We are created to LOVE.
Yet, as we journey through this LIFE, if we’re not careful we pick up and start taking on the labels this world gives us. When we don’t “fit” the mold.
One of my favorite authors and mentors is Dr. Caroline Leaf. In her book, The Gift in You, “You were created intentionally. You have been knit together in a particular way. Nothing about you is a surprise to God. He knows you inside and out, and He did not design you to be limited.” “Imagine this: God is eternity and infinity. He gifted each of us with a unique piece of His thinking to achieve a unique purpose He designed us to fulfill. We are more than equipped to deal with life successfully. We have truth-value. Often, when we are grouped into boxes – learning disabled, gifted, right brained, left brained, overachiever, underachiever or any other box which seems to fit nicely at the time – that definition becomes a part of how we see ourselves.”
So, let this truth encourage and empower you to take time today, [...]
I think we’ve all heard “Be The Change You Want To See In The World” by Ghandi. It kind of goes along the lines of “treat others the way you want to be treated yourself,” also known as the Golden Rule. That is of course the way we should live. I think the world would be a more loving and kind place if this was truly how we lived.
I would like to suggest a change in the original Be The Change quote by Ghandi. How about…
“BE THE CHANGE GOD WANTS TO SEE IN THE WORLD”
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all of my 51 years of life, God wants the best for us. He has the answers to all the problems we face if we would only ask Him, seek Him, write down and act on the instructions He gives us.
The other way to know more about what God wants to see in the world is through reading the scriptures. Reading the Gospels, the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Learning about the things God hates, the things we are warned about for our own protection. Reading Proverbs is quite insightful and great in gathering wisdom for living.
It’s sad when I hear how some people hate the scriptures, the Word of God. If they only knew how much God really LOVES them and wants the best for them. Perhaps they’ve never really read them and opened their heart to Holy Spirit inspired word of God.
Perhaps if more of us became the change God wants to see in the world we would all see the changes we need to see in the world. Through the power, wisdom and truth of the [...]
