You're Life Is A Work of Art

Your life is a work of art. Your soul is the artist.

Your soul is creating a masterpiece called “you.” The canvas is the events of your life. The colors are your feelings. The brush is your heart.

It’s fun to feel your life as a work of art. It’s exciting to experience your life as a masterpiece of God. But how do you open to such an uplifting point of view?

Shift Your Point of View

The key to seeing the true beauty and magnificence of your own life is to change the way you’re viewing your life. If you shift your perspective, a very noble and rewarding story is revealed.

The purpose of all spiritual practices and meditations is to shift the perspective from which you experience your own self and life. Find a spiritual method that radically changes the way you experience yourself and you’ll find yourself inhabiting a whole new, glorious world of exploration and fulfillment.

If you view your life through the narrow lens of modern Western culture, you’ll only see struggle, drama and trauma. Basically, the storyline and values of a daytime TV soap opera.

If you discover a different, deeper interpretation of common everyday events, you’ll find yourself enjoying a real-life classic fairytale of honor, nobility, adventure and celebration.

Focus on Your “Soul Appointments”

I might suggest one very simple and effective way to shift your experience of your self and life:

Focus your attention on the “soul appointments” that you’ve kept throughout your life, instead focusing on the “personality disappointments.”

Center your attention on the events that have been satisfying, instead of the events that haven’t given you the joy you expected.

Looking for Love in All the Right Places

The fulfilling events of your life are the events that your soul arranged for you to have in order to experience joy, love and full self-expression.

The unfulfilling events of your life are the events that your personality thought would bring you happiness. These experiences are the so-called “disappointments” in life.

Grab Your Compass

When you understand the true beneficial purpose of the “disappointments” in your life, you have a compass to find the true appointments that will bring you happiness.

No disappointments have ever been real soul appointments. That is, disappointing events in our lives haven’t been arranged by our soul for our happiness. Rather these experiences of letdown and betrayal are arranged by our soul for our education—for the development of our life wisdom.

This life wisdom can then guide us to people and activities that will bring us real joy and gratification. With the clarity and intuition we gain from our disappointments we can steer ourselves to the right people and events in life that will make us fulfilled in a real and lasting way.

This clarity is the beneficial purpose of all life “disappointments” or “betrayals.” We’re only misled by the perspective from which we view the situations. We’re only betrayed by our interpretation of events. We’re only letdown by the notion that in that situation we had a bona fide appointment with happiness.

Don’t Be Fooled by False Appointments

A clue to this truth is in the word “disappointment” itself. Disappointments are actually “non-appointments.” The English prefix “dis” means “no.” as in the words “disrespect” or “disapproval.”

Our personality thinks we have an appointment with happiness through a person or activity—when actually the true appointment in that situation is with discovery, education and enlightenment. The experience of disappointment with a person or situation only means that we never truly had an “appointment with joy” through that person or activity.

Good News

The Good News is that once you learn to follow the clarity gained from life’s non-appointments with joy, you’re guided to true appointments with joy. As you allow yourself to be guided by the wisdom of past dead-ends, you only go down new paths that lead to real satisfaction. You’re no longer disappointed by life or people. Instead you’re keeping your soul appointments with full self-expression and satisfaction.

THE MECHANICS OF WEIGHT LOSS
The body naturally stores fat. The most common areas are the stomach, thighs and buttocks. These excess fat stores contain toxins that cause havoc with our immune system. Ultimately this can lead to heart disease, diabetes, loss of energy, depression and many other debilitating conditions.
“Obesity in the U.S. is driving rising rates of diabetes and hypertension with stroke-causing conditions affecting almost 3 in 10 Americans. Excess weight increases the risk of developing heart disease, stroke and other serious conditions, according to the U. S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention.” Bloomberg News, October 2008
When used as part of a daily hydration regimen (1 stick pack per day), Plexus Slim promotes:

• Loss of weight and inches by burning fat, not muscle
• Healthy blood sugar levels
• Healthy cholesterol and lipid levels
• Healthy will power over food choices
• Free radical scavenging (reduces oxidative stress)

Plexus Slim is:

• Safe, non-stimulatory and non-thermogenic
• Diabetic friendly

PRODUCT ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Leveraging the research and experience of one of the world’s largest natural ingredient compounder, Plexus Slim harnesses the beneficial essence of 2 plant extract concentrates, provides proven effectiveness in slimming and provides beauty benefits. Compounded using a proprietary process, Plexus Slim possesses a unique composition. Its effectiveness has been clinically proven.

The two principle active ingredients in Plexus Slim are derivatives of chlorogenic acid and oxypregnane steroidal glycoside. Among other mechanisms, these two ingredients provide:
Fat metabolism – Chlorogenic acids are one of the major classes of phenolic compounds. They are present in a large variety of fruits and vegetables. They largely occur conjugated with quinic acid as in chlorogenic acid.

Appetite management – Oxypregnane steroidal glycoside is a benign plant extract. Several varieties of the plant exist, however, one species in particular exhibits extraordinary appetite management qualities. 3β-[β-d-thevetopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d- cymaropyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d-cymaropyranosyloxy-12β-tigloyloxy-14β-hydroxypregn-5-en-20-one.

Chlorogenic Acid
The benefits of Chlorogenic acids to our health have been demonstrated in numerous scientific studies. The study by Richelle et al. confirms the anti-oxidant power of Chlorogenic acids. Furthermore, it shows that the anti-oxidant power is approximately twice as superior to that of dark chocolate. The works of Bandyopadhyay et al. and Jiang et al. equally confirm the benefits of Chlorogenic acids to our health. Studies have shown that caffeic acid possesses a strong anti-oxidant power, notably limiting the oxidation of lipids in the liver. The Chlorogenic acid in Plexus Slim is a particular and unique composition and is guaranteed free of cafestol and kahweol and other harmful elements.

Oxypregnane Steroidal Glycoside
The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that regulates certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. It synthesizes and secretes neuro-hormones, often called hypothalamic-releasing hormones, and these in turn stimulate or inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones. Its basic function is to control body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, anger and circadian cycles (the body’s clock).
When food is consumed, blood sugar (glucose) levels increase, prompting the body to start sending signals to the brain that it is full. This causes the hypothalamus region of the brain to cease sending out signals that the body needs a further source of energy. Scientists in cooperation with the British company Phytopharm isolated a steroidal glycosie active ingredient they designated as P57. They discovered that the brain interprets the molecules in the chemical structure of P57 as molecules of glucose. This has the same effect on the hypothalamus as consuming large quantities of food.
The unique steroidal glycoside extract used in Plexus Slim is estimated to be 100,000 times more potent than glucose, so as soon as it is sensed by the hypothalamus, the body is ‘told’ that it is full, thus inhibiting overeating.

SUMMARY OF MOST RECENT CLINICAL TEST
A clinical study was conducted in 2008 from June through October. The study was conducted with 8 type 2 diabetes patients of mixed gender and age. While all patients carried excess weight to varying degrees, the primary purpose of this study was to see how well the product reduced glucose levels in Type 2 diabetics. The weight loss was a secondary consideration.

.

Study Results: All patients experienced improvement in the above listed areas and categories. Many times shedding the final 5–10 pounds of excess weight is the most difficult. It is important to note that even patients with relatively little excess weight (5–10 lbs) were able to shed these excess pounds.

Benefits of Working From Home

Entrepreneurs are rediscovering the benefits of working at home. The continuously good performance of the economy, followed by a change in lifestyles buoys well for the home-based entrepreneur. Many people now wants to combine their careers with families, opting out of the rat race to spend more time with their families and take a more proactive part in raising their children. The technological innovations in the past decades have also made working at home easier and more feasible.

You need not look farther than your kitchen, bedroom, den, living room, or garage to find the foundation on which to build your business enterprise. Here are seven reasons why it pays to work at home:

1. To gain personal freedom. The most enticing aspect of starting a home-based business is the opportunity it provides to gain control over your own life. As a home business entrepreneur, you can shape your work life depending on your goals and environment. There are no bosses to follow, no corporate culture to abide by, and no rigid work schedules nor time clocks. Instead, you have the freedom to work and earn as you choose, in the comfort and convenience of your own homes. Of course, having all the time and freedom to work as you please also has its drawback. Thus, a home business entrepreneur needs to have good time management skills and discipline to push yourself to work.

2. To reap financial benefits. The financial benefits of working at home are equally attractive. The convenience of having your office a few steps away from your bed allows you to save on commute time, gasoline and transportation expenses. There is also little need to buy power suits and dress up every workday as you can work in your jogging outfit or pajama. Since you work at home, you save on rental payments and overhead costs are cut significantly; allowing you to plough all your capital and profits back into the business. Your earning potential is directly proportional to your performance: no more waiting for your boss to give you your raise or promotion before you can increase your income. More importantly, however, a home business allows people who have been frequently shut out of the job market--homemakers, students, retirees, and the disabled, to name a few-to to create new income opportunities.

3. To exploit tax advantages. Using your home as a place of business offers a number of tax advantages. For starters, it allows you to deduct a part of the operating and depreciation expenses on your home. This means that a percentage of your rent or mortgage payment, depreciation, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and expenses for household maintenance, repairs, or improvements is deductible. You can also be entitled to deduct expenses from using a vehicle for your business, including gas, insurance, depreciation, and others. Consult your accountant for a careful evaluation of what can be and what cannot be deducted from using your home office.

4. To be with the family. Many opt to start their business from their homes to strengthen family relationships. A home business allows family members to be involved in the business. Husbands or wives can help in various aspects of the business, while children have the opportunity to see what their parents do for a living. Parents, most especially, can both work and earn, while taking care of their children; although daycare arrangements or babysitter may be needed to help you concentrate on the work at hand.

5. To reduce stress. Working at home can reduce the stress of juggling the demands of your work life with those of your private life. You can work while staying at home to care for a sick child, or continue to work late at night after preparing and sharing dinner with the family. Since you work alone, there is no office politics and deadlines imposed by your boss. You only need to follow the deadlines and schedules you have set for yourself.

6. For job enrichment. As a home-based entrepreneur, you are not boxed into one job and given a label identifying you as a researcher, secretary, banker, manager, or administrative assistant. You are free to learn and perform a variety of work-related tasks. If you are a solo entrepreneur, then you even have to be ready of being all things for your business: the strategy setter, marketing and sales person, customer service representative, accountant and bookkeeper, and other roles. You can vary your activities to keep you from getting bored. While it means greater workload, the plus point is that you develop an understanding of all aspects of your own business. More importantly, personal growth is greatly enhanced as you learn what you can (and cannot do) and your goals become much more achievable.

7. To increase productivity. Many home-based entrepreneurs find that working at home helps them to be more productive. With lesser time dedicated to commuting, there is more time available to work. More importantly, working for your own business - wherein the amount of financial compensation depends on your productivity and business management - increases the level of enthusiasm. Many get so caught up in what they're doing that it's actually hard for them to stop.

8. To harness competitive advantages. One of the biggest benefits of working out of your home is the reduced overhead cost. Lower operating costs can enable you to be more competitive, not just in the prices you charge but also in the quality of service you offer. You can use the money you save on rent to increase your overall profitability, or you can pass it on to customers in the form of lower prices. Competitors restricted by higher overhead costs have no such options. What they charge is predetermined by their rental agreements. The higher the rent, the higher their prices. Moreover, a smaller business makes it easier to provide customers with personal service.

Given these benefits and more, the trend toward home-based businesses is clearly just beginning. As more people recognize the opportunities of working from their homes, coupled by the need to be independent and the drive to succeed, others will soon join this growing movement.

Representing Plexus Slim

Plexus Slim - The All Natural Way To Lose Weight!  Prior to starting Plexus Slim aka the Pink Drink I was on the Food Lovers Fat Loss System, in which I'd begun to eat healthier and exerciser regularly, however life got busy and I of course got off track.  I was originally introduced to Plexus Slim in 2010 and decided that I was not buying it.  (Just as I get told by many today ....it's too expensive) Well this pass February the Lord had it re-introduced to me again by a messenger that he knew would get my attention. 

To make a long story short, I begin taking  Plexus Slim and Accelerator (Companion to Plexus Slim to jump start and accelerate the weight loss process)  in February 2011 and 29 days later I'd lost 14lbs without changing my eating habits, nor did I exercise, I was determined to be certain that the product delivered what it promised. 

To my surprise it did and I felt better than I had in years!

Thanks when my journey as an Independent Ambassador began.
