Thank you.
Every year around thanksgiving, I send out a thanksgiving message and as part of it, I quote a book called, The Life We Are Given: A Long-Term Program for Realizing the Potential of Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul, by George Leonard and Michael Murphy, which was written in 1992. In one of my first meetings with John Mackey back in late 2009, I brought this book and discussed some of its recommendations which we used in regard to the development of the WFM Wellness Clubs.
Michael Murphy founded the famous Esalen retreat center in In 1962.
George Leonard was an Esalen President, Board member and resident scholar. He wrote a book in 1992 called, Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment. In the book ( which I no longer have it and haven't read it in a while), he uses aikido as a metaphor and in order to master it, one must practice the same routines over and over, day after day, year after year.
The same holds true in so many things.
In Health
