When you go into the grocery store, do you get confused?  Did you think you were eating healthy only to find out that you’re not? Are you unclear about what constitutes a balanced diet?  Can you identify a “fresh, whole food?  If not, you are not alone! With so much information available, it is almost overwhelming trying to sort it out and make sense.  I’m going to bring it back to basics in order to make eating healthy, simple, flavorful and fun!

What it Takes to be Great

Entrepreneur, Market America, mdaras.com, Personal Development, Positive Mental Attitude

Research now shows that the lack of natural talent is irrelevant to great success. The secret? Painful and demanding practice and hard work

By Geoffrey Colvin, senior editor-at-large

(Fortune Magazine) — What makes Tiger Woods great? What made Berkshire Hathaway (Charts) Chairman Warren Buffett the world’s premier investor? We think we know: Each was a natural who came into the world with a gift for doing exactly what he ended up doing. As Buffett told Fortune not long ago, he was “wired at birth to allocate capital.” It’s a one-in-a-million thing. You’ve got it – or you don’t.

      Positive Affirmations


      Positive affirmations do work.

      An affirmation can help you replace a negative thought with a more helpful positive one.

      Without realizing it you tell yourself negative things constantly.

      This is called negative self talk.

      NutriClean System


      The most important step is to purify our bodies.

      We need to cleanse the digestive systemW, as well as the lymphatic systemW.

      Our body uses the digestive system to transport necessary nutrients to various tissues.

      The lymphatic system is responsible for ridding the body of toxins.

      Through improper nutrition over many years, our digestive systems are “clogged.”

      This is very dangerous, because we are not absorbing necessary nutrients, as well as unable to properly dispose of toxins.

      Most disorders and diseases can be attributed to this fact alone.

      • While it seems expensive, supplementing your diet with the essential nutrients is vital to health and fitness.
      • Our soil in the U.S. is so depleted of necessary vitamins and minerals, that it is a MUST to get them from another source.
      • We do not eat our fruits and veggies fresh from the farm, so we lose a great deal of nutrients due to storage, shipping, and processing.
      • Stay away from canned, bagged, or boxed foods whenever possible.
      • Fresher produce or even frozen are your better choices.

      False Emotions Appearing Real


      I don’t need to tell you that the economy has hit a rough patch.

      The media has seized upon this story, and the negativity around this is everywhere- just turn on your television for a few minutes as evidence.

      What really bothers me about this is that once people start expecting the worst to happen, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Remember that thoughts become things and I don’t want to fuel that negative fire any more. Worry is a prayer for what you don’t want.

      I’m not asking you to engage in dangerous behavior, be foolhardy, or be reckless. However, I want you to engage in one act of boldness per week as part of your overall strategy for becoming more self-confident.

      Boldness here means undertaking some deliberate action that involves attempting more than you usually comfortably attempt.

      We decide to make a change:  Make more money, lose weight, quit smoking, start exercising, whatever.

      We set goals and work toward them. And for a while, there is progress.

      Then we start to slip, and before we know it we are back where we started.

      The Power of a Paradigm

      There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living. –David Starr Jordan

      The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People embody many of the fundamental principles of human effectiveness.

      These habits are basic; they are primary.

      They represent the internalization of correct principles upon which enduring happiness and success are based.

      But before we can really understand these Seven Habits, we need to understand our own “paradigms” and how to make a “paradigm shift.”

      Both the Character Ethic and the Personality Ethic are examples of social paradigms.

      Antioxidants, Dietary Supplements, MA Rewards, Market America, mjdaras.com, Products, Testimonials


      Under normal conditions the body is able to accomplish all of these activities with no problem because of the existence of cartilage. Cartilage is the smooth elastic tissue that covers the ends of bones, allowing them to glide across and cushion each other as the body moves. Bones and joints are intended to work synergistically to provide structure and flexibility.

      Glucosatrin®


      The body sustains healthy joint maintenance by continually rebuilding and regenerating cartilage. This is what allows the bones and joints to uphold their shock-absorbing capabilities. However, as the body ages or incurs injuries it is sometimes more difficult to sustain healthy cartilage regeneration.

            Isotonic, which means “same pressure,” bears the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears.

            Isotonix® dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do to in obtaining maximum absorption.

            The isotonic state of the suspension allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream.

            With Isotonix products, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results.

              Inspirational Quotes - Daily Note from the UniverseEvery Breath You Take

              Would you believe, Friend, that here, in the unseen, just a breath away from “there,” in time and space, we have gardens with such sweet fragrances they actually caress passersby? That we have melodies so rich you can actually see them dancing through the air? And colors so exquisite they tickle all of your senses?

              That there are planets where everyone knows each other’s names? Where flying comes naturally to all? And some have moons that hum lullabies each night?

              Inspirational Quotes - Daily Note from the UniverseRule the World

              Life doesn’t give folks a break. Nor does it test you. Nor is there any such thing as good luck, fate, or destiny.

              On the other hand, Friend, your thoughts become things. Which pretty much means you get to rule your world.

              Do you think I’ll meet you half way?
              Not quite, Friend.

              I’ll take you all the way. That’s my job.

              Your job is to set me in motion with the thoughts you think, the words you choose, the things you do, and the homage you pay…

              Sorry, just kidding about the homage part.

              Simply put, Friend, the reason there are things you want that have not yet appeared in your life, is because you’re just not used to thinking of yourself with them.

              Just keep practicing -

              Inspirational Quotes - Daily Note from the UniverseAny How

              The tendency to settle upon a cursed how as a means to achieve a particular goal, is simply a sign that you’ve momentarily forgotten how unlimited, creative, and powerful I am, and that I tirelessly conspire on your behalf when you leave me every option.

              Note from the Universe – Good Vibrations

              positive energy

              Inspirational Quotes - Daily Note from the UniverseGood Vibrations

              There is no detail so small, no thought however fleeting, no word unspoken, no deed mindlessly performed, that doesn’t send its vibration into the unseen, reaching my heart of hearts, where it echoes and returns as more of the same.

              And as your cumulative manifestations draw your attention to the stunning and absolute power you have over your destiny, you’ll come to see that, really and truly, there’s no such thing as a small detail.

              You have the keys to the Kingdom…

              You know those people, Friend, you sometimes feel you’re waiting for?

              Do stuff, Friend, little stuff, lots of stuff, prepare the way… and don’t even think of stopping until you’re dining with them at The Ritz.

              positive energy

              Inspirational Quotes - Daily Note from the UniverseFriends

              Sometimes it just sneaks up on you, Friend, doesn’t it? You don’t even see it coming. Suddenly and without warning, you’re surrounded by the best friends you’ve ever known.

              You’re waking up in the mornings just “dying” to get into the day. There’s a lightness in your step and a gleam in your eye. Your thinking is new, your laughter frequent, and you’re drawn to tears whenever you hear happy tales.

              You’re on a roll, so it’s not like you’re thinking about it, but if you were to think about it, you wouldn’t know what’s gotten into you, nor would you recall just when. You’d only shake your head whenever you thought of how quickly everything can change…
