Get Back Up!

Thursday, August 27, 2009

To quote Tony Robbins, "Sometimes the biggest mistake we make is in thinking that we should have no problems." We think problems are a curse, instead of knowing that our problems are a gift. The only way we usually grow is if we get a good enough problem to stimulate us to use our resourcefulness to find a part of our self that is not being used.

Here is an extraordinary example of a man who chooses to view his “problems” as gifts, and a resource to show the world that there are no limitations to what we can do.

I hope you will be inspired...I sure as hell was.

Live With Passion,

Paleo Recipe
Colorado Spinach Salad
1 small bunch fresh spinach
12 dandelion leaves
½ cup pink sorrel leaves, loosely packed
1 apple, cored and cut into bite sized pieces
½ cup walnut halves

You may substitute appropriate fresh greens for the dandelion and sorrel leaves. Wash and de-stem spinach. Coarsely chop dandelion leaves, and tear spinach, then toss dandelion, sorrel and spinach together in a stainless steel bowl. Put aside in refrigerator to drain and cool. When drained, pour off excess water and add apple and pecans. Toss with dressing (see next section) and serve.
