I also dream/want/will create an online super-portal of support, encouragement and resource for amputees and their families and caregivers - based on my son's "accident" (medical mistake) that occurred when he was 4 (2 years ago)... I KNOW for a fact that we (my son and I) were "chosen" for this very experience, and that there is MUCH to be done for MANY who have/will experience similar struggles. As a consummate "idea guy", my continual struggle lies with the implementation part - knowing what/where to begin, etc. However, I truly believe with all my heart/soul that once it's been "birthed", countless numbers can/will be positively impacted - forever!

I decided to travel in Asia right for four months. Im on my 3rd week, at the moment in Hue in Vietnam. Got laid off from work for the 2nd time of my life, but this time I decided this wouldn't bring me down like last time it happened. So I decided to go travel now that time was available. I have read Scotts emails and others (Vince Delmonte, Mike Geary, Jon Benson) on the same subject for the last year, and over time their messages have reached me that its up to me to make some changes. As most mention in their answers that its up to ourselves to make changes to we do not like. I know exactly what I need to do to loose weight, at the moment my weight is 340 lbs, but I just don't have it in me to loose it. I have read tons of books, and the emails from the guys above, all good advice but I cannot make myself to go all the way. For me it has always been up and downs like all the rest of you guys and gals. I have have started programs, but ended them after 6-8 weeks, because I dont "feel" like it. Now after three weeks on my own, after alot of soul-searching, one huge stone dropped from my chest. Sat drinking a beer looking at a pool-game at DMZ-bar here in Hue, and suddenly it just poped into my mind.. I love my mom and dad. I come from a very stable family, mom and dad are still married now for 43 years and I got two sisters I love dearly. The thing is that I have never ever said it to either of them I love them. We have never been much about emotions in our family, because everyone of us know what the others feel. But, as en emotional dummy I am, I guess I have always known I need to say it to them but never come around to it. So that's what I wanna change in my life as soon as I come home and can do it right. Fear is the mind-killer, as the said in the movie "Dune", but I want to change for the better and don't fear change. If I can continue to soul-search during my travels, who knows what I wanna change. Well.... too loose weight of course is one... =) /Robert Well I have taken the first step to change my life, Im traveling alone for the first time ever.

I would want to share the unconditional love that's within me and also go and work out much more than I do in the mornings.

I would also change from laying around and relaxing in spare time to getting up and doing something constructive. Going to the gym a few times a week is only a start. Keeping active the rest of the time accelerates the benefits. I would change the dependence I have on the “comfort” foods and rely on the true beneficial natural foods.

I am a bit pessimistic. I keep procrastinating, loosing my motivation, or simply not doing achieving thing time and time again because my negative attitude. Oh and yes perhaps this one also stems from my pessimism but I tend to forget about important things. Goal setting would perhaps help. Hello,

Removing the ego removes the fear lets the spirit fly and anything is possible. Loose the attachment to what may be and what if and we can fly, change becomes possible. Therefore I would connect the thought with the action and practice hard getting rid of the fear attached by just doing it, going out there are beginning something and keeping on doing it and practicing until changes comes about. Thinking along will not motivate change, we need to be in it doing it 100% then we believe we can and change has occured...keep on truckin To change requires thought and action.

I am at present still trying to complete my courses that I am taking through ISSA, but I have had these courses for 2 years almost and I still have not finished them. I NEED to change that in me. I need to finish getting my self in shape. I know I have the stamina and will to do these things, but it always come back full-circle to that fear. This I need to conquer. Once done my life will be complete. If I could instantaneously change something in my life, it would be my fear of success.
