Negative choices bring about negative consequences.  Positive choices bring about positive consequences.  We learn this lesson as we grow.

However, many people do not take into account that negative choices do not disqualify positive consequences, and positive choices do not disqualify negative consequences.   Once you act on a choice, the consequence is already on its way.  Sometimes instantly, and sometimes delayed.  But definately on its way.

Therefore making positive choices will not erase negative consequences if they are already on their way.  And negative choices do not erase positive consequences if they are already on their way.   

However, positive choices can help buffer a negative situation.  For example,  negative words and actions cannot be undone - however follow-up positive words and actions can help buffer the consequences.  They won’t remove the consequences, they will simply lighten them. 

Likewise,  negative diet choices cannot be taken back – but future positive diet choices can help buffer the consequences.  Again, they won’t remove the consequences, they simply lighten them.

The bottom line?  We all make negative choices.  Sometimes knowingly and sometimes ignorantly.  The key to life lies in having your positive choices OUTWEIGH your negative choices!   It’s a tug-a-war.  A war that I plan to win!

So when faced with a choice, think about the future – not the moment.  If you make a bad choice, get back immediately to making good choices.  And if you need to buffer the consequences of a negative choice that involves other people, always remember………….  humility has great power.  Admit your mistake, commit to changing your ways, apologize, and ask for forgiveness.   This amazing act of humility, that we all have the priveledge of using, is faster than a speeding bullet and stronger than a locomotive!  Because with great power comes great responsibility!

I did it again – another step DVD.    It’s been 3 years since my last release.  I was concerned that I would not be able to pull it off.   It’s amazing how it all came back to me.  For some reason I feel right at home in front of a camera.  Not sure why though.  It was never my dream or goal to be a fitness video star.  It just sort of HAPPENED!   I’m very grateful that it did happen.  It’s been WAY fun.

The new DVD won’t release until mid October.  The pre-sale begins September 1 and runs through September 30.  For this reason, I have decided to start my new blog  by answering any questions you might have about the workout.  We won’t have video clips up for a while, so it’s likely that you might want to ask questions prior to pre-ordering it.

So……I’m here……ask away!
