In achieving success, there are two main ingredients:
- You must really know what you want. So start asking yourself what you really want.
- Change the way you think to change your life. Whatever you believe to be so, you are proven to be right!
Shockingly what I thought I really wanted was not what I really wanted. I accidentally realized it two years ago.
As far as I know, I’ve been fond of eating delicious food… baby back ribs, beef steaks, roast lamb chops, yakiniku, crabs, raw oysters. But all of that food comes with a price: fat and high colesterol. I didn’t care about it. I thougth eating delicious food is how I enjoyed my life.
Then one day, I met a stranger and we got into casual conversation. Somehow he mentioned he didn’t eat meat and seafood. I was surprised and blurted unconsciously, “How do you enjoy life if you don’t eat meat and seafood?” He calmly answered, “For me, be able to watch my grandchildren is enjoying life. To be able to live long, healthy and happy with my family is enjoying life.”
Slap!
His answer hit me and made me realize how wrong I was. It was a great reflection from a stranger, wasn’t it? Hence I started to change my diet. I ate only healthy food and avoided all of those “dangerous” food. But it didn’t last long. After about a month, I resumed to my old habit. Eating “bad” food again.
Until finally I came across a good diet book, Living The G.I. Diet
So in my own simple example, my two ingredients are:
- I really want to live long happily and healthily with my family and be able to watch and play with my grandchildren. It’s still long way to go since my son is still 16-month old!
- I change the way I think about food. It’s not a diet. It’s my healthy life style.
I hope that enlighten you with my own experience.
What’s yours? Come on, share yours so that we can motivate each other

In order to adopt a healthy lifestyle, it needs to fit who you are and your current phase in life… Aim for a lifestyle and a physical body that makes you feel good… Once you’ve connected to your desire, and you have a clear picture of what good health means to you, then make a realistic commitment to live in this manner…

Everything goes differently on every different person. Not necessarily the food we like is healthy and good enough for our life style. everything is good but under certain limitations and i must say one of my cousin is facing somewhat same problems. He never takes the food that is prepare at home. He always love the food from outside no matter how spicy it may be.

Definitely a lifestyle. I think too many people learn to diet to lose weight, but not to maintain weight loss or for a healthy diet. Also I appreciate your kind words! I try as hard as I can to keep it real.

The folks across the pond have shown their appreciation for Mad Men again by honoring the show with its second consecutive British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for Best International Show at yesterday’s British Academy Television Awards. The competition for the British Emmy equivalent was stiff, with challengers including Family Guy, Nurse Jackie and True Blood.

I guess it is what you wanted in your life that causes you to fulfill it. For some, it is bring rich, while for some, it is wanting to get the confidence of how they look. If the goal you set do not conflict with your personal emotion, it will be easy to achieve.

Incorporate some type of exercise routine in your life. Even if you don’t do anything but take a walk everyday, everyone needs some form of exercise in their life to remain healthy all the time.

It seems that society forces people to believe that in order to lose weight you must go on a diet, but this is not true and definitely not a healthy way to lose weight.

Exactly! It’s not a diet; it’s a lifestyle!
I was doing the same thing before – eating anything under the sun. But my view changed after I watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-ZnG3NoZY It gave me the idea of taking health supplements and eating healthy foods only.
