An Ultimate Transformation Moment

We sometimes miss opportunities to fully become the person we want to be or enjoy the full riches of life, because we overlook the present moment. We yearn to be somewhere else. Shakespeare writes, “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we often might win by fearing to attempt.”

Look, we’ve got to get started. In this health and wellness journey, the way we affect our families, our communities, our world, is to move from that place of doubt and fear. Health and wellness not only deals with the physical, spiritual, and mental health, but also with giving, helping our communities through coaching, mentoring, and listening. Or even  participating in programs like Snoop’s football league as the Nation of Islam brothers are doing. Total health and wellness means dedicating time to that invention that you might have, or that business idea you’ve been pondering. You’ve got to move.

It is impossible to start from any other place.  We’ve got to begin where we are, find what we love, and use what we have to begin our own personal journey. Put a stake in the ground. Draw a line in the sand. Do whatever you need to do, to mark this moment right here as your starting place. 

From this point you are able to go anyplace in this world, individually, spiritually, mentally, and physically. You’ve got to make this moment the starting point, and remember, there’s no pressure.

All we’ve got to do is get up and start doing.

Make sure to do something everyday that puts you closer to fulfilling whatever you have identified as your purpose. Everyday you will feel more successful. We affect our families once again. We affect our communities, and ultimately, we affect the world.

Start with something simple, but simply start. Build a routine. Write down what you’re going to do. You’ve got seven days in a week. Write seven items down that you’re going to get done every seven days, whether it’s regarding your personal health, wellness, spiritual growth or other.
 
Your life’s riches are waiting for you to realize them with your efforts. The more you work toward becoming the person you desire to be, the universe (God) will duplicate your efforts with the riches of life and multiply them a thousand fold. “Get started right now, and live the life of your dreams.”

That’s our Ultimate Transformations Moment. Peace and be more.

    Today’s Ultimate Transformation Moment is directed towards parents and coaches.

    We’re approaching football season, the beginning of school, and our children are participating in conditioning programs getting ready for their respective sports. Many of these activities are being done outside in the sun. As they participate in these practices, hydration is an important component that will enable youth athletes to have a positive experience.

  • Mother’s time -

    During the month of May, we celebrate Mother’s Day and in light of this recent celebration, this week’s Ultimate Transformation Moment is for our mothers and women in general.

    Women, you must recognize that you hold the power, as the first nurturers on earth, over our children as well as in your relationships. You move from an emotional place that uplifts us, because you’re the closest thing to God on earth—the female entity, the female principle.

  • Nutrition: the value of eating breakfast -

    In this week’s Ultimate Transformation Moment, we get back to basics and few things are more basic than the first meal of the day—breakfast.

    Studies show that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and still today, many people don’t really understand why. The literal meaning of breakfast is “breaking the fast” of the night. It is the first meal that you consume upon rising from a night’s sleep.

  • Self love -

    This week’s Ultimate Transformation Moment is about a subject that I’ve rarely touched upon. It’s a primary topic, when we reflect on our personal growth, personal potential, and how we connect to the universe, people and families around us. The topic is love, or more specifically, self-love.

  • The mindset of appreciation -

    This week’s Ultimate Transformation Moment concentrates on appreciation.

    As a community, I’d like us to understand that appreciation is a major component for any individual to start feeling the positive vacuum of the infinite, of God’s blessing flowing within you.
