The United States Department of Agriculture has approved a new GM potato created by Simplot, which stands among the largest potato suppliers in the US. Many of these potatoes will be purchased by fast food restaurants, which stands no chance at being fairly labeled. Many fast food joints, like Burger King, Wendy’s and KFC are undecided about whether or not they would sell these potatoes to their customers, which is why we need to put pressure on these companies to make the right choice.

Sign the petition: Tell Burger King, Wendy’s and KFC: Don’t serve GMO frankenfries to your customers.

This isn’t the first time Simplot has taken a stab at GMO potatoes. About a decade ago, Simplot attempted to sell GMO potatoes to grocery stores and McDonald’s, but the customers hated the potatoes...

I used to look at people who were successful, healthy and happy, wondering, “What’s their secret? Why can’t I do that?”

After a decade long struggle with eating disorders, addiction, and self-loathing, I realized that the reason I couldn’t be happy like the people I envied was that I didn’t love myself and they did.

For me, shifting from self-loathing to self-love has been profoundly healing and epiphany-inducing. I can hardly believe how simple it’s been for me to quit smoking, eat well, exercise daily, find a loving relationship, and have the career of my dreams. And it’s all thanks to self-love.

Now, I see happy people and I smile, knowing that their lives are products of a series of habits that support their relationships with themselves.

Here are seven things that self-loving people do...

As opposed to suggesting something mostly outside of ourselves, such as studying research, a special 10-day retreat, or some expensive seminar, I believe that if we know how to we can learn the most important lessons life has to teach us from ourselves, in our everyday lives. And I believe this way of learning is much more effective.

Guidance is powerful, even necessary at times, but ultimately we learn the best and most valuable insights from our own life experiences (which is why the best guidance helps us become a lamp unto ourselves). So then what better place to learn than our regular, normal, everyday lives? If we can learn to do this, the possibilities are endless.

HJ: The only thing keeping you from having what you want — particularly the life, happiness and fulfillment you want — are emotional and spiritual blockages.  Emotional states create outcomes.  Your emotional state determines what you are capable of doing and becoming.  A severely depressed person will constantly be struggling with themselves and hence experience the reflection of that in their lives.  Someone happy and motivated will produce the opposite results of the depressed person.

High level coaches and high achievers know that at the end of the day, it’s all about state management.  Specifically emotional state management — it opens up the doors for you to experience and create literally anything you want.  However, the key to that is healing emotional and spiritual blockages.  In order to become a master of your emotions, you must remove those things which are holding you back and that happen on autopilot without your conscious control.  Automatic emotional patterns ingrained into your system must be erased or reprogramed so you once again gain control over yourself.

You will inherently gravitate and draw to you whatever your thought patterns create. Negative draws negative, positive draws positive. Which would you like to possess today? ~ Creator
