Commitment vs. Decision |
| Author: Gary Mahoney Date: August 24, 2009 |
| Is there a difference between a commitment to eat healthy and a decision to eat healthy? I have made a commitment to eat healthy (to myself and others) many times throughout my lifetime. Each time I broke the commitment. I guess I developed a habit of making commitments and then breaking them. It was not really my intention to break the commitment but in the end my commitment to not overeat was broken. It did not seem to matter who I made the commitment to, whether it be mys... |

I made a simple decision to "Not Eat Unhealthy Foods" yesterday. At different times in my life, I made a similar decision to "Not Smoke, Not Take Drugs, Not Drink Coffee, Not Parachute from a Plane," etc. As I look over my life, there are a lot of things that I do not do, simply becuase I made the decision that I refuse to do those things (since I have no interest).

Ever since the release of “The Last Cookie Club” last month, I’ve been involved in a whirl of media activity. Radio interviews, newspaper articles, photo shoots and the like. I don’t have a lot of experience when it comes to this type of promotion, but I’m finding it interesting and challenging. I know this is just the beginning because, as the old saying goes, book marketing is a marathon, not a sprint.

Purpose of Our Lives |
| Author: Gary Mahoney Date: August 01, 2009 |
| When I used to oversee the weight release class at my casinos, we would always discuss the answer to this question: What is the purpose of our lives? I pretty much got the same answer from everyone. It was always about making a positive difference in either their own lives or making a positive difference in the lives of others.
They wanted to make a difference in the lives of their family, friends, or even those they did not know. The... |
