Hmmmm...

I read a quote once shortly after starting my journey with Advocare that made me stop and go, Hmmm....

"If you can't afford 200 dollars to make a change in your life, then you need to change your life."

Now, I'm not going to say I completely agree with this statement.  I am never one to tell someone in financial trouble that they need to spend 200 dollars on a program to jump start healthy living rather than pay their electric bill.  But, it got me thinking about what we, as a society, value and promote over others.

It seems as though we will balk at purchasing the healthy peanut butter, whole wheat bread, and spaghetti squash because they are more expensive than the more processed, sugary, and cheaper counterparts.

But we'll drop $400.00 on a new TV because it is Black Friday or some other super sale.

Hmmmm...

"If you can't afford 200 dollars to make a change in your life, then you need to change your life."

We will turn down the opportunity to make a healthy, life long change in our lives and become positive examples for our family and friends because we are "to cheap" to purchase supplements.

But, we'll go out to eat 3-5 times a week.

Hmmmm...

"If you can't afford 200 dollars to make a change in your life, then you need to change your life."

We will talk about how much we wish we could stay home with our kids, have that "dream house" that we keep pinning on Pinterest, or just lose 10 pounds.  But we don't actually DO anything about it. 

We are reactive instead of proactive.

Which makes me think of another quote that graced the back of many of my t-shirts from various sport teams throughout my life.

"Don't dream it.  Be it."

The cool thing...Advocare can be IT.

Advocare can help you with those 10 pounds (or 15, or 20)

Advocare can help you set a good (and realistic) example for your family and friends.

Advocare can help you spend more time with your family.

Advocare can help you on your way to being debt free.

BUT, it won't do the work for you.  It won't make it "easy," it will help make it POSSIBLE.

So your DREAMS can become YOUR LIFE.

"If you can't afford 200 dollars to make a change in your life, then you need to change your life."

 

Hmmmm....
