Did you ever ask yourself, “What do I really want to do with my life? What matter’s most to me? What lights me up? What would I do even if they didn’t pay me?”
Not the you that is a husband or wife, mother, father, son or daughter. Not the you that is decision-maker, sandwich-maker, bread-winner, entrepreneur or Little League coach. But you, the passionate dreamer, the one and only, never another human being like you on this planet ever!
Did you ever have dreams, like Neal Armstrong, Martin Luther King or Michael Phelps?
Ambitions, hopes, goals that thrilled you?
I didn’t.
Chronic illness limited my scope of even remembering that I was born with the same inalienable right to pursue happiness just like you.
I mean, how do you feel creative and vibrant if you wake up exhausted every morning? How do you feel motivated and excited for all that life offers, if the impact of low energy and poor health sap your best self out of you? How do you hope and dream, when soap-operas and reality TV are your easiest access to living an exciting life?
For me, this is the crux of my work.
It’s never been about the food you eat.
It’s not even about how much you weigh.
It’s not about this diet or that diet.
It is about all that becomes possible when you live in a healthy body.
It is about you looking and feeling as healthy as you are successful.
It is about you getting in touch with who you want to be, what you want to create and all you want to accomplish.
It is about moving beyond the apathy that low-energy and poor health can cause.
Which is precisely why, because you are literally a system of cells and tissues, nerve impulses and chemical responses that work synergistically together, you must eat foods that energize you and your dreams!
It’s not about food, and then it is. Do you get that?
YOU TELL ME!
What does getting healthy mean to you? How can more energy impact your life at home and the office?

Brilliant! You hit the nail on the head with this article. My lackluster output is so evident whenever I don’t take care of myself (I feel it first with poor sleep).
Thanks for making the tie to fueling our dreams. Maybe I grasped the concept but I hadn’t consciously put it into worlds. It resonated so deeply that now I’ll never forget.
Jenna, I am so happy that post resonate for you. All I ever say is, our goal is to exploit every opportunity life offers, but we can’t fully do that, if our body is even a little off! xo
