Feline cat camouflage in the drain - “There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast”I recall reading that a man from Virginia Beach filed a law suit against his hospital. He opted to have surgery in order to lose weight. So he had his stomach stapled -- a procedure that reduced the size of his stomach so he couldn't eat as much.
A couple of days after surgery he sneaked down the hospital corridors to the kitchen. There he raided the refrigerator and ate so much that his staples burst.
The law suit? He claimed it was all the hospital's fault. They should have locked the refrigerator. No, I don't know how the suit came out...just the staples.
If the first sin was eating the forbidden fruit, then the second was trying to excuse it. "It's not my fault! SHE made me do it!"
Wonderful things can happen when we decide to be responsible for everything we put into mouths, everything we put into our minds and everything we put into our hearts.
Fill your body with the right foods and it will perform well.
Fill your mind with learning and it will not stagnate.
Fill your mind with optimistic attitudes and you will always have hope.
Fill your heart with courage and you will be able to face life with confidence.
Fill your heart with love and you'll never be alone.
Fill every day will plenty of gratitude and you will always be happy.
Only you can decide how to fill up your life.
Albert Ellis has said, "The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny."
Only you can choose what goes into your life. Fill up your mind, your body and your heart with the very best, and the result can be no less than magnificent.

Great thoughts! You hit the nail on the head. We have become a society apparently unable to accept responsibility for our own actions.
"Wonderful things can happen when we decide to be responsible for everything we put into mouths, everything we put into our minds and everything we put into our hearts."
I couldn't have said it better myself! I do understand that it is difficult to take responsibility when the message being broadcast to us everyday is filled with:
- You are overweight because of Fast Food X...Try the latest diet fad.
- You are dying of cancer because of the tobacco companies...A law suit will fix everything.
- You are depressed because of your parents. Take this pill....
BUT, enough is enough! The world would be a much better place if the individual would recognize that he or she is responsible for their own actions and implement corrective behavior. We need to be teaching the virtue of personal responsibility to our children. You ARE in charge of your own destiny!
Thanks again for the great post!
