If you read the newspapers or watch television news, opportunity is the last thing that you think about. Most people are thinking of survival, not about opportunity. It’s all very depressing, but is it? Are we all talking ourselves into a problem? Is it all becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy? Perhaps we should change our mind-set and start thinking of what opportunities the future could hold?

What we need to realize is that what is happening across the world doesn’t happen very often, maybe once in a lifetime – which is just as well! But what we are seeing is a debunking of the ‘old order’, a clearing out of bad practices: a shaming of the greedy, and a powerful spotlight being focused on selfish self-interest.

We can complain all we like about the reasons for our predicament, but it won’t get us very far. We know where the blame lies, but chasing them down is a waste of energy. What we all have to do is to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and get on with creating a new moral order and a better and more just future for our families – and to make sure that we have safeguards in place to see this doesn’t happen again.

The readjustment that is now taking place will be the beginning of a new world order with more transparency and hopefully a better understanding of mutual self-interest.

This is all good stuff, but what has it got to do with opportunity and losing weight? The simple answer is everything. Why? Because it’s all to do with change. The world is changing and so must we if we are to be able to play our part and be able to benefit from the future.

One of the symptoms of the general malaise that the world has been suffering from is the obesity epidemic. Although it has many different causes, it is a manifestation of our unhappiness with the world and with ourselves. We have allowed ourselves to become mentally and physically flabby.

What we all have to do now is to make change. There really isn’t any alternative any more. If we are to survive and prosper, we have to change our ways. We have to become leaner and fitter. If we do then there will be a whole host of opportunities for us to grasp – and we’ll be able to make the best of them.

To some the thought of making change is daunting. It’s not really. All it means is that you have to identify your bad habits and learn new ones, slim habits. If you do, the weight you will lose will be permanent. Permanent weight loss comes from changing your behavior. It’s long-lasting and will enable you to be fit and able to create a bright and successful future.
