Recently, I was working on a Connect the Dots worksheet with my son, and I realized what a perfect metaphor for the real meaning of life this was; moving from place to place in a sequential order with the goal of creating a well drawn picture.

Perhaps it over simplifies the concept of The Meaning of Life, but why does it have to be so complicated ? We weren’t here in the beginning, and chances are we will not be here at the end, so all we have is the beginning and end of our own lives. So if we look at what is true, then the connect the dots metaphor makes more sense.

Time is an aspect of life that we can not escape, and for that reason we are always moving forward. By using this philosophy for a way of life, we can add a bit more structure to our path and ensure that all aspects of our lives evolve, and progress forward.

If we can look forward and find the next dot, dot after dot, our picture will slowly form. And much like these connect the dot puzzles, sometimes we have to step back and look at what picture we are creating to help us find the next step to make.

I think sometimes in life we over complicate matters, and refuse to believe they can be so simple. All we know as real is what we see, and we have to work around the obstacles so that at the end of our journey we can hopefully look back with admiration at the picture we have created.

Its that time of year, the Natural Products Expo East is back again, and back in Baltimore. Their website says it best, “Natural Products Expo East isn’t just a trade show. It’s your chance to see, hear, smell, taste and get your hands on everything new in the natural, organic and healthy products industry. ”

If you have been there before then you know what its all about. If you have never seen the sites of the the Natural Products Expo, it truly is an experience. I have been fortunate enough to visit the show both in Baltimore, as well as the few years it was in Washington DC. Suppliers from all facets of Natural Products come to showcase their company, and new products.

It will be in Baltimore again this year, from September 27 - 29th, in the Baltimore Convention Center which is large, and will be packed with suppliers, buyer, brokers, retailers, and onlookers, each of which will be busy filling up their freebie bags with the endless rows of samples that will be given away. Some of the most memorable samples in the past, other than all of the food, would have to be the chewable tooth brushes, vitamin C gum, aura readers, and most of all free back massages (honestly, I am not sure what that company was selling).

For all who are going, Enjoy !! For those who do not yet have plans to be there, do what you can to change whatever plans you may have and get there, you will not be sorry.

Keep an eye out for the all natural food products company Health Is Wealth Products Inc. who will not only have their own new products to showcase, but will also have Sabaidi Tea bags to show to brokers, retailers, and all those who are interested in selling them. Unfortunately we were unable to get sufficient amounts of samples sent to the US for the show, but as we are preparing for Sabaidi Tea Bags to arrive in the US by the middle of October, we are beginning to introduce the our products. Remember, HEALTH IS WEALTH…You can go check them out and not only will you get some good food from Health is Wealth, but might also get Sabaidi Tea Samples.

With the increase of web marketing, Herbal Nutritional Supplements are increasing their availability and exposure. For everything from Diet and weight loss pills, to hair growth, to sexual performance, Herbal Supplements can help. But do they really work ??

There is no real comparison between many herbal nutritional supplements and medicine. Medicine is a chemical specially formulated to alter your body’s chemistry. Herbal Remedies are plants. That is good and bad.

For serious problems, a medicine is more reliable. More trust is placed in medical science for life threatening illnesses. Medicals pills alter you without delay. There is usually no “maybe”, like there is in nutritional supplements.

Herbal Supplements are different. Although some initially react quicker than others, Herbal nutritional supplements are complements to your bodies chemistry, working with your body instead of against it. They are generally nutrients as opposed to chemical, that work into your blood system providing targeted areas of your body with added nutrition to help make a change.

They do not completely take the place of medical science, but they can help.. The scales balance for each. With herbal supplements the positive is nurturing your body, sometimes slowly and continuously. Its counter weight is Zero side effects. With medicine, you have a near sure fire change in your body that can be seen in only 10 minutes usually, balanced by the often times long list of Negative side effects.

I think medicines have their place, but with the strong negative effects and dependencies that can come with them, I will try to stay Medicine Free as much as possible. I will try to eat the right foods and take vitamins and for aspect I feel I need a bit of extra nutritional help, I will add an herbal nutritional supplement to my lifestyle instead of medicine.

Throughout all of our lives, there is one factor that is inescapable; Change. Sometimes for the better, and many times for the worse. Every second we are faced with a moving landscape. For the healthiest of people, this can be a struggle. Can you imagine dealing with change such as two separate life threatening accidents; a fiery motorcycle accident that covers 65% of your body in severe burns, and a plane crash paralyzing you from the waist down?

That is exactly what W. Mitchell did. Perhaps one of the most amazing and inspirational true stories is that of this man who can be described as nothing short of Super Human. Not only did he have the will power and determination to over come such turmoil , but after the accidents, he became politically involved, including becoming mayor of his town and a run at congress. Now he is touring the world as a highly sought after motivational speaker based around his philosophy; It’s not what happens to you…it’s what you do about it.

After learning about Mitchell’s story, I have been looking at life a differently. I would consider myself healthy, with no more than my share of problems in this world, yet there are times when I find myself negative about life. And when I was watching Mitchell’s amazing true story, I couldn’t believe when I saw the pictures of him after his first motorcycle accident. His face and body were terribly burned. He had no fingers left. He was a shocking site. At that point I think I would have thrown in the towel. Just watching him overcome that was truly inspirational and really made me realize I have no reason to do anything but live my life to fullest.

And then I couldn’t believe it when I saw that he had been in a plane crash. Each accident in itself was a tragic story, but to have both happen to one person was emotional. But as I watched the story, it wasn’t the accidents that were focused on, but what Mitchell did after them. He is revered by his town which elected him mayor, he ran for congress, he fought and won against a major international mining company to save the pristine landscape of the west. This man who had every reason to say “I Quit,” did nothing of the such.

To best show his mentality I will leave with this quote,

“Before I was paralyzed there were 10,000 things I could do; now there are 9,000. I can either dwell on the 1,000 I’ve lost or focus on the 9,000 I have left.”

In 1968, Stanley Kubric came out with 2001: A Space Odyssey which was a journey through space, set to classical music. In 1971, regretting a decision to not be a part of Kubric’s movie, Pink Floyd created a masterpiece in the song, Echoes, on an over all amazing, yet widely overlooked album, Meddle. The song was written to sync with the last section of the movie, Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite. After an incredible journey through space, the main character Dave, finds himself in this well kept house, seemingly by himself.

As he walks in, he sees himself in the mirror, and the song lyrics paint the picture,

Strangers passing in the street

By chance two separate glances meet

And I am you and what I see is me

This man sees himself, now aged from the traveling through time/space, 

and doesn’t quite recognize himself.  I am no longer who I was. 

And the lyrics go on:

And no one sings me lullabies

And no one makes me close my eyes

Two lines that strike a chord with me. Two lines, saying that it is I who decides for myself. I think that is true, in each of our lives we get to a point where there is no one who makes choices for us anymore. That it is our decision, and our responsibility to take care of ourselves. And if we choose not too, then no one does.

I think back to choices made by a child version of myself, and think are there any choices I could have made to help me today, and knowing I can not change the past, I think are there any choices I can make today, that will help me tomorrow. After all, what do we have but that which is yet to come?

This thought works its way into every aspect of my life. And I can not help but think of ways that I can adjust my life today, so that tomorrow, I will be better suited; Strong and prospering family, Financially stable, Physically Healthy, Mentally Healthy, Emotionally clear, and Guilt free.

I can not change what has already passed, but as today becomes yesterday, and tomorrow today, I will do what I can NOW.
