We have all heard that carbohydrates are evil; some of us have even discriminated against carbohydrates and eliminated them out of their diet completely. A question that I get asked often is: “What are good carbs?”

Scientists have developed a way to measure how quickly a carbohydrate is absorbed into the blood steam. It is called the glycemic index, which scale from 0-100.

The lower the carbohydrate is on the index the slower it digests and the better it is for you. Carbs that are high on the index absorb faster and have a higher change to lead to fat gain and other health problems. For example, glucose is 100 on the glycemic index.

I have attached a list of low glycemic index carbohydrates. If you consume the carbohydrates on the list you will improve your health and enhance your fitness goals. Make sure you have them in your diet…

A low glycemic food plan is beneficial for:

· helping balance blood glucose and insulin levels

· reducing excess body fat levels

· increasing sports performance

· reducing hunger and keep you full for longer periods of time

What gets you motivated? When you wake up first thing in the morning, what gets you out of bed and gets your mind going and gives you passion? Think about the thoughts that fuel you and move you towards starting your day. Can you honestly say that you love what you do- does your “work” feel effortless and do you feel your at your optimal productivity when your there?

A few years ago I had a “JOB” (just over broke), it was a great state job along with wonderful benefits, however I felt like I was stuck in traffic. I had to abide by a schedule of exhausting hours, slow and specific salary steps, along with the fear that at anytime my “job” was at risk and I would have to start from scratch. Like a car stuck in traffic I had minimal control over my career situation at the time.

As far as I could remember, I HATED working for people. How many times have you had a boss or manager that was less intelligent than you and you could do their job with ease? Or did you have a more efficient way of doing your job, but still had to “follow procedure” and do it the way your supervisor wants it done? After getting frustrated with being an employee, I said to myself enough is enough! I took a leap of faith and resigned from my comfortable job and got out of the rat race.

I started my own business doing what I love and what I was born to do, and it was the best thing I ever did. Since then I have progressed light years ahead in my life. I am my own boss, I make my own hours, the harder I work the more wealth I create, and there are noooo limits to my progress and growth. I also don’t have some idiot breathing down my neck telling me what to do. Nor do I have to report to a demanding schedule like a mind controlled zombie. Since I am independent I have only myself to blame if I am a success or failure. This was an eye opening experience and very motivating for me to say the least.

That is one of my favorite quotes of all time because it’s so true. As a society there is a great emphasis on formal education, however I don’t think it’s as important as we deem it be. I always understood the value of school and went as far to get my masters degree, nevertheless I realized that I learned the most vital things in life through self education and experience. Formal education does not teach us how to be happy, successful, healthy and wealthy. I can honestly say that I learned a great deal through formal education, but the plethora of knowledge that I obtained from my own personal research overshadows the 22 years of formal education that I experienced.

I realized that to live the life I of my dreams I am responsible towards to creating it myself; nobody is going to walk into my life and hand it to me. It all starts with a thought, then you take action to bring in to your reality. Step by step I am climbing the mountain of my true destiny.

Am I living my dream life right now? No, perhaps it will never be to my exact vision. This is a life long journey that I will enjoy accomplishing and learning every moment that I breathe. We all have strengths and weaknesses, I simply capitalized on my strengths and I’m working voraciously hard on my weaknesses.

One of my strong points is creating a goal or aspiration and then immediately creating the outline in my mind on how to make it a reality. Any objective I ever had, I have accomplished it by quickly creating a logical map of how to reach my destination and taking massive action in bringing into fruition. I have a gift of seeking the proper information, people, places and situations towards getting what I desire in a proficient way. As soon as I have goal I get energized and become an architect that’s puts together a blueprint towards its accomplishment.

Do I have all my goals accomplished? Not all, but most of them are my current living reality. I realized that some of them take a life time to accomplish. Everyday I have faith in my self that I am one step closer to fulfilling my ultimate potential. I have realized that it’s a simple analogy of having the right recipe. Anything you desire in life requires taking the right steps and using the right ingredients towards cooking the perfect meal that will satisfy your appetite. Not to sound like a cliché, you can have or do anything you desire if you’re willing to take the simple action steps towards its accomplishment.

So my friends, if you have read the first paragraph of this long rant and you answered yes to all of the questions then I am really happy for you. You are living at your true potential, keep it up.
