Be The Change!

By Marivic Guzman

Life is precious. It is our life experiences that have shaped us all into who we are now- leaving lasting impressions, molding our opinions, and changing our perspectives. In today's world of diversity, we are all trying to find our voice, and stand out from the crowd... all different, yet the same in our struggle to find meaning in life.

Helping people is an inherent trait in all of us. But in today's modern times, with all of the new technological advancements, we have slowly been reprogrammed to become multi-taskers, which may not be a good thing. We are often times too busy to lend a hand to others, let alone take care of ourselves.

We live on convenience and instant gratification.

We no longer have the forethought to do something as simple as planning our meals in advance, we instead rely on fast food and TV dinners. We would rather pop a magic weight loss pill than to have to break a sweat and work off the weight the right way.

Obesity in America is at an all time high. This is probably not the first time you've heard this. But this time it's different. It's time for you to take action and do something about it.

Start with yourself... be the change you wish to see!
