There is a purpose to my life. That purpose is filled with an outrageous amount of passion. I refuse to mealy exist on this planet. I want to make a difference. I want to contribute to society in an enormous positive way. We all leave a legacy behind when we our time comes to an end. What do you want to be remembered for? I&#8217;m about to share one of my Big Ambitious Goals, but I actually need your help in defining exactly what I&#8217;m going to accomplish.</p>
<p>I wrote a report over a year ago called <strong><a href="http://www.unstoppablefatloss.com/blog/uploaded/ObliterateObesityReport.pdf">Obliterate Obesity</a></strong>. In that report I share my big ambitious goal of reversing the obesity trend by 2015 and some of the steps that I see necessary if I am going to play a key role in this worthy goal.</p>
<p>I have been doing some thinking lately about this big ambitious goal. You see, I prefer to state my goal in a positive such as; &#8220;I will earn $100,000,000 in the next 365 days&#8221; instead of &#8220;I want to eliminate my debt&#8221;. Or &#8220;I will achieve 6% body fat&#8221; rather than &#8220;I want to lose weight&#8221;.</p>
<p>Obliterating Obesity is stated in a negative almost like <span id="more-12"></span>&#8220;I want to lose weight&#8221;. So now I&#8217;m trying to state this goal as a positive. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve come up with so far. &#8220;I will play a major role in helping 90% of the population improve their health drastically and live their lives at a healthy weight by January 1st 2015.&#8221;</p>
<p>The thing with this goal is that I will have to define what a healthy weight is. Some people believe a healthy weight can be up to 20 pounds overweight. But what is 20 pounds overweight? I could chose to strive for 90% of male population to be under 19% body fat and 90% of the female population to live under 28% body fat.</p>
<p>What do you think? Am I on the right track with redefining my big ambitious goal? Can you help me rephrase it? What do you believe is a healthy weight or body fat percentage to aim for when it comes to my big ambitious goal?</p>
<p>I really appreciate your help with this. I am very passionate about this goal and I&#8217;ll need more than your help in just redefining this goal&#8230; I will need your help in achieving this goal. Can I count on you?</p>
<p>Embrace Change&#8230; Your dream life awaits you,</p>

What changes would you like to see in the world? I would absolutely love for you to share those changes in the comment box at the end of this post. The next most important question to answer is, &#8220;What are you going to do in order to make those changes become reality?&#8221; If any positive and desired change is going to occur in your life or in the world, you need to take personal responsibility and make it happen.</p>
<p>One of my new favorite songs is by Kat Edmonson. It&#8217;s called &#8220;Be The Change That You Want To See.&#8221; Here&#8217;s her music video, which really gets the message across&#8230;<br />
<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nrv3hteHglI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nrv3hteHglI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>Whether you want to see world peace, a cleaner environment, or drinking water for everyone on the planet, the first step always begins with you. If you truly want to see these changes take place in the world, you need to &#8220;Be The Change&#8221;.</p>
<p>The #1 Change that I want to see in the world is<span id="more-4"></span> a significant reduction in obesity. I have become the change that I want to see by reducing my own body fat percentage by 14%. Through my actions many others are following in my footsteps. Some of them are family and friends, others are people who I have inspired through my blog, newsletter, and fat loss programs.</p>
<p>If having a million dollars is one of the changes that you want to see in your life, there are steps that you can take in order to &#8220;Be The Change&#8221; even before you have a million dollars. You can adopt many of the actions, qualities, and characteristics, that are common among millionaires.</p>
<p>If losing 100 pounds is the change that you want to see in your life, you need to become that new, healthy, and energetic person who you desire to be. Take a look at people who are already living at your desired weight and level of health. What type of foods to they eat? How do they fit their day around their fitness? How do they prepare for obstacles and challenges? Adopt these behaviors and you will &#8220;Be The Change That You Want To See&#8221;.</p>
<p>Three of the messages from the video that really resonate with me are&#8230; Learn from mistakes, inspire youth, and keep an open mind. I believe that these are 3 of the keys to positive change in our world.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts? What messages resonated with you the most? Share them in your comment below along with the changes that you wish to see in your life, in the world, and what actions you are willing to take in order to make them become a reality.</p>
<p>You just took a step toward positive change and the life that you deserve. What will your next step be?</p>

It has everything to do with &#8220;CHANGE&#8221;. As most of us are well aware, Barack Obama&#8217;s Presidential campaign was based on &#8216;change&#8217;. I was inspired by this message of change that Barack was striving for, but there was something magical happening in the background that inspired me even more&#8230; Millions of people were <strong>embracing change</strong>. They were singing songs about change, they were dancing, and full of joy and excitement for something that had never been done before.<br />
<span id="more-3"></span><br />
What makes this so magical is that many people around the world actually <strong>fear change</strong>. They are afraid of the unknown. They are afraid of stepping outside of their <strong>comfort zone</strong> in order to experience positive change in life. They would much rather stay inside their protective cocoon where they are familiar with their surroundings and know what to expect, even if they are not happy with where they are.</p>
<h3>Do you fear change or do you embrace it?</h3>
<p>I&#8217;m going to get a little personal here, I hope that you don&#8217;t mind. Are you happy with where you are at in all areas of your life? Are you making the money that you feel you deserve? Are you happy with the relationships that you are in with your lover and your friends? Are you happy with your current level of health and fitness? </p>
<p>Even if you are happy in all areas of your life, do you think that you could be even happier?</p>
<p>What change would need to take place in order for you to become happier in the &#8220;Big 3&#8243; of life &#8211; Health, Wealth, and Relationships.</p>
<p>When you think about what changes need to take place are you fearful or are you excited?</p>
<p>Honestly, it&#8217;s ok to be both at the same time. I believe that it was Bob Proctor who said, <strong><em>&#8220;Your goals should scare you a bit and excite you a lot.&#8221;</em></strong> That may not be the exact quote, but I love it!</p>
<p>The problem occurs when you become paralyzed by your fear of what needs to change in order to achieve your goals. This paralysis results in &#8220;IN-Action&#8221; rather than &#8220;Action&#8221;. In order to grow as an individual you need to take action toward <strong>your goals</strong> even if you may feel scared of the unknown.</p>
<p>Are you willing to embrace change? What changes are you willing to make in order to be the best YOU that you can be?</p>
<p>Change is happening at this very moment. It&#8217;s up to you to work towards the change that you desire.</p>
<p>Embrace Change,</p>
<p>Scott Tousignant<br />
