  Understanding Your Self-Worth Part 2 In Part 1 we discussed how you are already created with Worth, because there is no one just like YOU. YOU are one of a kind, an original. Yet, some people value their cars, homes, shoes, cell phones, and video games more than they do their own bodies. Big mistake.          You can replace all that stuff, BUT YOU only have one extraordinary body. Grandmaster Steve is setting a great example by honoring his body as a Temple. He looks great, lost 45 pounds, his complexion is brighter, he’s moving better, and most importantly he feels better! He also suffers with “LOOSE Pants syndrome” . Because of his healthy lifestyle his pants are now too big around the waist! The great part of all this is he’s sharing this experience with our KMMA family and his life partner Barbara. They are an inspiration as they both are getting healthier together. Barbara looks incredible too, and she told me her ba...

  Can Fragrances (e.g. perfumes, colognes, air fresheners)  Make YOU SICK & FAT? Did you know the scent within many perfumes and colognes along with plug-ins (and many other household and beauty products have chemical fragrances or parfums in their ingredients i.e., Febreze, Lysol, Clorox Bleach, Dawn, Tide, Irish Spring, Fabuloso etc) which contain many harmful chemicals. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG.org), many of the chemicals in these synthetic fragrances contain phthalates, which can disrupt hormones, worsen asthma, allergies, lead to headaches, fatigue, weight gain (as these chemicals get stored in the fat), weaken the immune system, and even possibly cause cancer. What to do?   Use natural products.  For not much more money, you can get products from Seventh Generation (SeventhGeneration.com), Ecos (ecos.com) etc. that don’t contain many of these harmful chemicals. These ecofriendly products can smell nice and be just as eff...

    Understanding YOUR Self-Worth Part 1   Do you realize how valuable you are?   Grandmaster Steve had us watch an inspiring video by Trent Shelton on self-worth .   Know there’s no one exactly like you in this world. You’re one of a kind, an original, more precious than any diamond. Even identical twins have different personalities, body types, hair, moles, or scars.   The chances of your parents meeting and having you is also quite small yet here you are. Realize there was no mistake or accident, you were meant to be here, and YOU are here for a purpose. Your creator planned it!   Furthermore, understand YOUR innate value comes from just being YOU . It doesn’t need to be earned by what you do, your rank or status, or how much money you make, or the home you live in, or the grades you receive. YOU are worthy regardless of these things. But hear me, this doesn’t mean we don’t strive to be the BEST Person we can be. ...
