<p><font face="Times New Roman"><span><b><span style="font-size:14pt;">L</span></b><span style="font-size:14pt;">ifelong health and fitness can be achieved and it starts with your mental attitude.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman"><b><img border="0" align="left" width="136" src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd56/beliefprinciple/arron1-1.jpg" height="102" />By: <a href="http://www.think-and-grow-thin-weightloss.com/">Aaron Stafford, MS.</a></b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"><b></b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman"><b>&#8220;If you don&#8217;t get what you want, it is a sign either that you did not seriously want it, or that you tried to bargain over the price.&#8221;</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman"><b>—Rudyard Kipling</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman"><strong>P</strong>eople make sacrifices every day for things that won&#8217;t make a difference ten years or ten days from now. They sacrifice the extra hour of sleep their bodies need in exchange for late night television. But most people are reluctant to make sacrifices to get what they really want. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">At seventeen, Dori knew exactly what she wanted. She wanted to be free. Growing up in Castro&#8217;s Cuba, she had always heard stories about people sailing to a new life across the waters. Her older brother had already made the trip. She dreamed of a better life somewhere, anywhere but Cuba. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">One night she got in a boat with her fiancé and five friends. The Gulf currents carried them into Mexican territorial waters. After five days at sea, they were rescued by the Mexican Coast Guard just as a February squall threatened to capsize their boat. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">Dori and her fiancé are in the United States today. As political refugees, they await the outcome of their request for U.S. residency.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">&#8220;Dori,&#8221; I asked, &#8220;If you knew what you would have to go through, would you get in the boat again? Would you do it all over again in spite of the storms, sharks, and uncertainty?&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">Her pupils grew to twice their normal size. &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t think I would,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t think it would be so scary.&#8221; </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">As Dori&#8217;s answer reveals, even good changes can be frightening. The pull of the familiar is often stronger than the attraction of the unknown, so most people play it safe. &#8220;Why sacrifice if I already have enough to get by?&#8221; they say. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">In <i>The Millionaire Mind</i>, Dr. Thomas Stanley surveyed over seven hundred first-generation millionaires to discover the secret of their success. He asked them to rate thirty success factors. A high IQ (#21) and a degree from a top university (#23) ranked among the least important factors.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">Two factors tied for first place: honesty and self-discipline. The secret of success is no secret at all: If you want to be successful, tell the truth and be willing to make sacrifices for what you really want. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">Take a moment today to think about your direction in life. What&#8217;s keeping you from accomplishing your dreams? According to seven hundred and thirty-three U.S. millionaires, your lack of education isn&#8217;t the problem. Identify an area where you can make a bigger sacrifice to achieve a goal. Then go for it. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">Whenever I think of Dori, I always remember the look in her eyes when I asked if she would get in the boat again. Though she didn&#8217;t want to think about it, I have a feeling that she is prepared to make even bigger sacrifices to build the life she dreams of. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">She only has a high school degree, but that won&#8217;t stop her. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"><b>&#8220;It is in men, as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.&#8221;</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica"><b>—Jonathan Swift</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">You&#8217;ve probably heard the story about the frog and the cooking pot. It goes like this: Throw a live frog into a pot of steaming water and it will jump right out. But drop a frog into a pot of cool H2O, let it cook over a slow flame, and guess what happens? The frog will stay there until it boils to death.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">We don&#8217;t have to think very hard to discover the moral of the story: Most human beings would rather stay stuck in their circumstances, no matter how hot it gets, than face the terrifying uncertainty that comes with jumping into a new environment.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">Of course, human beings aren&#8217;t frogs, except in fairy tales. But even in real life, there are times when people act more like the frog in the pot than they would like to admit. And they don&#8217;t know what to do about it.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">No, human beings aren&#8217;t frogs: I&#8217;ve never met a man that didn&#8217;t want to improve his life in some way. I&#8217;ve never met a woman who didn&#8217;t want her dreams to come true. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">Then why do so many people stay stuck in bad habits, slowly stewing to death? Why do intelligent people let bad choices destroy their opportunity to live happier and healthier lives?</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">The answer is simple and complex at the same time. Therapists know that programs are not the key to beating addictions. Studies show that about half of the people who seek professional help for an addiction drop out after the first two or three sessions. </font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">External changes like going on a diet, starting an exercise program, and eliminating sources of temptation only work for a short time. Sooner or later, most people fall back into old habits. </font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">Success only comes when we replace bad habits with healthy new habits. The key to lasting success is total lifestyle change. But we already know this. We&#8217;ve been hearing it for years. </font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"></font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">That brings us back to Square 1: Why do most people fail to accomplish their goals?<span>  </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"> </font><font face="Helvetica">Here&#8217;s some food for thought: For every smoker that kicks the habit thanks to a program, <i>there are twenty persons that quit smoking on their own.</i></font><font face="Helvetica"> </font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica">Q: What&#8217;s going on?</font></p>
