“If I allow myself to feel deprived, sooner or later I will… react with negative emotions.” – Food for Thought

Deprivation is described as the damaging lack of material benefits considered to be basic necessities. This means air, food, water, shelter, medical care, and, of course, love. I have always had access to everything on that list – I am blessed. But in the past I did not always take good care of myself. Being scared of the dentist I avoided him. Being busy I waited too long to see a doctor. And I thought it was dumb to look in the mirror and say “I love you” so I didn’t do it. But doing the daily deal has changed it all for me. Today I don’t deprive myself of all the abundance around me. When I say “yes” to every challenge, do the footwork and step up to enjoy the rewards I receive, ILML!
