10 Commandments of Success

Start the Day with Discipline Habits

By:  Joshua Zitting

Is your life a total mess,  has zero routine or discipline, full of procrastination and you feel out of control at times?

Where do you start with discipline habits when there’s so much to change?

It’s quite simple, you clean house.

You start with one small step at a time.  When you eat breakfast, wash your plate or bowl.  When you are done with morning tea or coffee, simply wash your cup.  Don't leave a single item in the sink or on your counter.

Do it right then.

Make this a habit one day at a time and one dish at a time.

Once you complete this a few weeks in a row than start making sure when you get undressed for the day you put you hang your cloths up right away, put them away or in the dirty cloths.  

After this, do some crunches, a few standing squats, maybe some pushups.  Eat a few vegetables instead of that cracker.  

Once you build this discipline habit you can trust yourself to take more and more on at a time.

You can’t eat an entire elephant at once, you must do it one bite at a time.

So for now, start with the dishes, smile, and create your day.  For you have the power to create anything!

What's the Deal with GMO's?

You’ve probably heard a lot of people talking about the evils of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, but what are they?

GMOs are essentially the result of a laboratory process during which genes from one species are inserted into the genes of another with the aim of obtaining a certain characteristic or result – like growing an incredibly large melon, for example.

A number of animal studies have been conducted and report some serious health risks associated with a GMO diet, including immune system problems; infertility; faster aging; changes to the major organs; issues with the gastrointestinal system and even faulty insulin regulation.

So these days physicians are advising patients to stay far away from foods that have been genetically modified, and that means we need to start shopping smarter.

For starters, you should try going organic. The USDA National Organic standards actually prohibits genetically modified organisms and shopping organic is the perfect way to avoid them altogether. What’s more, organic foodstuffs have little to no pesticides, fungicides or herbicides while boasting a higher vitamin and mineral count.

Another smart way to shop to avoid GMOs is to load up on the fruits and vegetables. Many fresh products are not genetically modified but do tread carefully when it comes to edamame; zucchini; sweet corn; yellow summer squash and papaya that is brought in from China and Hawaii – they’re considered high risk in the GMO range. Only purchase those products if they are labeled as “Non-GMO” or “organic” to be on the safe side.

The third smart shopper tip is to keep an eye out for the non-GMO-verified seal. Foods that have been genetically modified don’t have to be labelled such and this seal is the best way to tell when foods are organic. A lot of companies won’t advertise that foods have GMOs, so these seals are a good way to find foods that don’t have GMOs.

Next, join a campaign! For example, the Tipping Point Campaign comprises a group of activists who are hard at work educating communities about the dangers of GMOs. The whole idea is that the more consumers start avoiding GMOs, the more likely those ingredients become a marketing liability and be removed from the shelves. 

When you’re shopping, remember to read labels carefully and understand additives. Five of the most common GMOs (sugar beets; corn; cotton; soy and canola) often land up as additives in packaged foods. Check labels for the likes of sugar; corn syrup; thickeners; oil and flavoring agents and stay well away.

If you love seafood, only buy wild-caught varieties as a lot of farm-raised fish tend to eat feeds that are genetically modified in one way or another.

What about eating out? The next time you’re planning on going out for dinner, put some thought into “invisible ingredients” including salad dressing; soy sauce and cooking oils that could very likely contain GMOs. But don’t be scared to ask for special orders like calling in advance and requesting that your fish be fried in olive oil instead of, say, canola.

Another good GMO-free shopping tip is to focus on fiber like beans; nuts; grans and seeds which are typically GMO-free. And while you’re checking out labels, stay well away from aspartame. You’ll find it predominantly in diet sodas as well as low-cal foodstuffs and sweets. Aspartame is made purely from GMOs or even via a chemical process. Not sweet at all.

Here’s another one to watch out for: canned soups. These ready-made varieties have a lot of ingredients that contain GMOs. Many list high fructose corn syrup as one of their biggest ingredients and according to research, 88 percent of corn planted in the U.S is genetically modified. Another big ingredient in canned soups in vegetable oil which, while the label might tell you the oil doesn’t come from corn, 90 percent of rapeseed, soybeans and cottonseeds farmed in the USA are GMOs.

When you’re whizzing up and down the aisles, avoid the frozen food section, too. All too often frozen goods are sweetened with the likes of non-cane sugars which are genetically modified. 

While you’re in the store, skip the sweetened juices on your shopping list. At present, the only genetically modified fruit that is readily available to the average American shopper is the Hawaiian papaya. While the majority of fruits don’t have GMOs, a lot of juice companies add non-cane sugar to make juices more enticing to kids.

Finally, read labels carefully before choosing cereals. While you’re not that likely to encounter GMOs when dealing mainly with grains in their natural state (except corn), cereals – and especially those made for kids – contain a lot more than natural grains. Two of the biggest ingredients are corn start and sugar which are both highly likely to consist of GMOs.

All this talk of GMO can get a bit stressful, but take a deep breath and start off slowly. Try not to get overwhelmed by it all, just do what you can and start off by eliminating GMOs just for a few weeks. Take note of changes to your energy; weight; moods and health and take note of your kids’ attention spans. Once you start noticing the positive changes, chances are GMO-free will become the only way to go in your household.

Taking a Leap of Faith

Leap Of Faith

Business Entrepreneurship

             When starting your own journey into entrepreneurship there are a couple things you need to realize.  Your belief in what you are doing is everything.  If you doubt that what you are setting out to do won't work even the slightest bit than you should probably re-think your plan.   You see it doesn't matter if some people think you are crazy.  It doesn't matter if some people give you negativity or tell you something won't work.  Only you can make that decision and take that leap of faith.   It's called a leap of faith because when you make a "real" decision to do something you are cutting off the alternative.  You see, the word decision, or to decide is in the same family as incision.   Decide, suicide, homicide, and pesticide is the action of cutting off or to kill off.   When you make a decision its cutting off the alternative and not looking back.   I believe that if people think you are crazy for building your dream than you are actually doing something right.   So many people get caught up in the trap of just running on a hamster wheel doing what they are told.   When you do something different and out of the ordinary people may view it as odd because they don't understand it.   Anyone in this world who was an innovator was at one point thought to be a little odd or crazy.   So believe in yourself and your dreams, and take that leap of faith.

The power of Language

      Language is powerful and often misused.  Words can tear one down or build one up.  The words thats leave your mouth can either be used powerfully in this world for good or can be parasitic and eat away at the world.  Ask yourself a question?  Am I careful with my word?  Do I honor my word?    Because the truth is you are in fact your WORD and when in fact you learn to honor that word you will live life much more powerfully.  The word "but" is like nails on a chalk board.  "but" always follows with an excuse. It keeps you in the corner.  Excuses hold you back from greatness.  It keeps you living in FEAR and a life of what IF's when in fact you do in fact have greatness within you.   If you want things in your life to change you have to change!  Don't be afraid to fail. Failing does not make you a failure.  Quitting does.   If you keep doing the same things over and over and expect a different result that is in fact the definition of insanity.  Change your thoughts, which will in turn change your actions, and when you change your actions, you will get different results.  Therefor your thoughts truly do form your life.  So be well aware of thinking patterns and start moving towards the best YOU!   - Joshua Zitting
