I was recently watched this video about The Solutions Project, which is a group in the United States that is working towards one hundred percent renewable energy.
I am not getting you to do this so that I can plug their cause, although it is a pretty cool idea. I want you to watch this video through health-tinted lenses. Imagine the speaker is talking about health instead of energy.
The person who sent me this video, sent it with a single line of text, “People should talk this way about health.” I whole-heartedly agree!
The underlying premise of this video is that we need to change people’s beliefs in order to change the world around us. If you have ever been to Think By Design, you know this is something we talk about a lot!
The line “we trade in the currency of optimism” is powerful, because it is very much at odds with the status quo. Similar to what the guy says about the media and the energy crisis, if you look at the popular media and the ideas that are being spread about health and the potential of the human body, it is a dismal state of affairs! The expectation of most people is that they are going to get old and sick and that the disease(s) they get will depend on what numbers they pull in the genetic lottery.
When you walk into a Life By Design office and hear “We believe every human being is designed to be extraordinary” you know that we also trade in the currency of optimism. Our expectation is health. If you give your body what it needs and get out of the way, extraordinary health is the normal result.
Another great point in this video is that once we stop focusing on the problem and start opening our mind to the endless possibilities of human potential, we become creative and offer solutions and then we can change our future.
You can see this idea in the Life By Design model as well. We take the focus off of disease and shine the light only on health, the solution. There are an endless number of strategies we can employ to fill our requirements and unleash our full health potential. We just need to stop being limited by fear, pain, and distrust in our bodies.
I believe that having one million families world wide living Life By Design is more easily attainable and will happen sooner than one hundred percent renewable energy. In either case, it starts with changing our minds so that we can change our actions and then pass these beliefs on!
Who do you know that could have a better life then they are living now, even one percent better? Probably everyone you know. Please pass this on to them and share in our vision.
