> People say it’s hard to do the raw food diet. But let me ask you: if you grew up eating raw foods and were introduced to cooked foods, don’t you think you’d say that the cooked food diet is hard too? To eat raw meal is simple. To eat it cooked requires so much more preparation and skills. So you see, it’s not hard to eat raw; it’s hard to break the old unhealthy habits.

>Begin each day with positive intent, knowing that you are the initiator of all things that you want to come into your life. Before they appear, you have to believe in them with every cell in your body. Leave the rest to the Universe and God.
