Tom's Blog on Life and Livingness
Drug companies and manufacturers of toxic foods rely on this datum to maintain their scam.
Someone has researched and found no evidence that it was Mark Twain who said this. But for various reasons, it is true.
Most people don’t like failing more than they do like succeeding.
Any time you do something new you are likely to fail at it.
Competence, or success, at something requires being prepared to do the thing repeatedly and fail at it often, each time changing what you observe did not work, until such time as you learn the skills required to attain mastery of it.
Success only comes about by persisting through failures.
Fear of failure is the death of success.
By holding on to a fear of failure you are aborting success before it is born.
Destroy your fear of failure for the murderer it is.
Embrace failure as a necessary learning process to accomplish success.
There is also the fact that it is a numbers game. Not everyone is a willing receipt point for whatever your message you are trying to communicate.
Give you an example. I fail far, far, far more often than I succeed in my purpose of helping others live a healthier life. Far more people say “No.” than “Yes” when I offer them my accumulated research notes on how to live the healthiest life.
What keeps me going is the wins I have when somebody reads my book and gets mileage from it. Yesterday I had feedback from three such people. Here’s the SMS I received from one of them.
“Tom I just wanted to let you know I have been reading your book almost every day and the wealth of information you have collected is astounding. I just wanted to say thanks thanks thanks so much for putting something like this together. I have already decided that I am going to read it again once I’m finished because there is so much to take in. Job well done Tom, your family must be very proud.”
One definition of success is preparedness to fail at something until you learn what it takes to be successful at it. This is why Steve Jobs recommended you pick a career with passion. Your passion is what will help you over the failures.
What was it they said about Edison? He failed 10,000 time to invent the electric light. He had a different viewpoint. He said he found 10,000 ways it did not work.
My recommendation to you is to apply this to your life. Pick one thing at which you would really like to be more competent and start acquiring the necessary skills. Focus your mind on being perfect at it.
It may take getting some help from someone already good at it who can critique your actions from an exterior viewpoint. But be sure to pick a coach who has done what you are trying to do. All too often people become prey to the naysayers who have never done it.
If you don’t know where your passion lies, give me a call. I may be able to help.

A new way to control your computer. The comments are almost as interesting as the video.

Apparently thyme helps with acne! http://www.naturalnews.com/035869_acne_natural_cures_thyme.html
Green Tea and Thyme Skin Toner
4 to 5 good quality green tea bags or several heaping teaspoons of green tea leaves
1/3 to 1/2 cup of fresh thyme roughly chopped
2 cups of mineral or vitamin water
small pot
Combine all ingredients in a small pot. Bring the pot to a boil then turn down the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the tea and thyme steep until cool. This will make a rich, highly concentrated green tea and thyme solution.
Squeeze out each tea bag thoroughly over the pot, press the thyme with the back of a spoon to release every bit of the herb, and then strain liquid into a container.
Many herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and mint freeze very well for use in recipes all year long.
Use a cotton ball to tone the skin every day. The tea thyme toner can be kept for at least a week in the refrigerator.
Thyme, a very common garden herb, complements the tea in this recipe because it promotes circulation in addition to possessing antioxidant, astringent, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Thyme also has properties as an antiseptic and is used medicinally to treat sores and inflammation.

It’s music to my ears and a symphony to my soul. Nurses may finally be coming around and grasping the gravity of how vaccines are damaging our bodies. A study in Vaccine shows that nurses trust in health authorities and vaccination is at an all time low following the H1N1 flu pandemic that was ultimately proven to be a hoax. http://preventdisease.com/news/12/042312_Nurses-Losing-Faith-In-Vaccines-Becoming-Distrustful-of-Health-Authorities.shtml

The body’s defense system is only as dependable as the support it gets. Some people are just blessed with a good set of genes that ensure a strong immune system. For others who are not as lucky, they must work for immunity by observing proper nutrition, sufficient rest, a healthy active lifestyle, plenty of sun and reduced stress. Recent studies have shown that getting enough of these while cutting down on unhealthy habits and avoiding processed foods restores the immune system to peak performance.
