Clearly Successful Life Strategies

Remember the hierarchy in Chinese medicine? (You can read about it on the home page.) Practical philosophy takes the top rank, beating out doctors, body workers, acupuncturists, herbalists and nutritionists.

Why? Because you have the most opportunity for long-lasting life change, when you change your thinking. And it is relatively easy to do even though most people don't. STOP! Right here. Think of a red dress on a beautiful woman on a warm sunny spring day. See? You changed your thinking from hefty philosophy to red dresses in the spring. Right? Easy, yes?

Most people stay stuck in their habits. Five years from now, those same habits will keep them living the lives they've been living and complaining about it.

You, of course, demonstrate your superior qualities by showing up at the Body and Soul Mentor. Right? Like the U. S. Marine Corps, we're looking for a few superior people.. Matthew's Gospel says it more strongly, "For many are called, but few [are] chosen."

My Quaker mother said to me, "There is that of Christ in everyone." Everyone has God given gifts, talents, and native genius in them. You do make better choices. If others make better choices, they too will have better lives.

You're not better people. You make better choices.

In five years, you will be in the same place you're in now except for the new ideas you uncover and the actions you take.

No happy or successful person did it any other way. And they will all tell you two things.

1. I had a ton of help.

2. If I can do it, you can do it. They know they are nothing special and you CAN do it, too.

You will discover untold goodies of proven virtue in this section to provide the help you need.

Robert Frost talks about this choice in his familiar poem, The Road Not Taken. Here are the last four lines.

Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Uncover the ideas that will make all the difference to you.
