VITAMINS FOR THE MIND by Ron Reynolds #3710 (Tuesday, December 23, 2014) Conscious of Self This may seem like a strange message for me to address, but inside of my own mind it isn’t; it’s a simple statement of fact intended to get more people to start paying attention to who they are, it’s intended as a wake-up call, and it’s purpose is to make people stop running in circles with each circle getting smaller until they find themselves squashed inside of a self-created pinpoint of frustration and ‘meaninglessness’ and become conscious of yourself. Now, some people may take issue with that word; I haven’t looked up such a word in the dictionary to see what it means or if it even exists, and I really don’t care if it doesn’t exist; if it doesn’t, then it needs to because there are millions who have – and are – running in circles and assuming that those ever-diminishing ‘circles’ represent progress. You, as an AdvoCare Distributor are often frustrated with having to talk to so many people while hoping each time you make a presentation that the person in front of you is still capable of making sense out of a good idea when they hear it. But most don’t, and it’s because they’re so far inside of the ever-decreasing circle that they think being squashed by circumstance and feeling frustrated is normal. Having your world close in on you and having no clear way to escape is, I suppose, somewhat ‘normal’ because so many people are a victim of living a life with no ‘meaningful’ purpose, but success and happiness and contentment aren’t about being a part of the majority who wander and wonder and just don’t care anymore. Think back several months or several years to your own ‘life before AdvoCare, and compare how you felt then to how you feel now; if you’re a business builder on your way toward debt freedom and guided by a passionate purpose and learning the many things that AdvoCare shares and teaches, do you not experience a release from something that was constantly engulfing you? Do you not have a greater and more meaningful understanding why you were put on earth, why you are happier now than you were when you were among those who wonder and wander, and are you not capable of ‘seeing’ a better future for yourself and for those you love? Meaningfulness means just what it appears to mean; it’s about that description that Ted Koppel once offered in a speech he gave to a class of graduating seniors who were thinking that life was about jobs and chasing unrealistic ambitions that would eventually enslave them; “There’s harmony and inner peace in having a moral compass to follow that does not change because of fashion or trend.” You have one duty that transcends all others as you carry out the steps leading to the fulfillment of your AdvoCare dream, and that’s to pull people out of the meaningless and circle that’s entrapping them. Throw someone a rope today, and jerk them out before they’re beyond hope. If you’re still inside the circle, reach for the AdvoCare rope.
