It's not that difficult Sometimes, one might even argue "always", wisdom and truth are found in the most basic statements. One of the simplest, yet most empowering comments I have heard is from Dr. Sue Morter. Aside from being a power- house speaker, she's extreme- ly inspirational, a dynamo on the stage, and outstandingly wise. "So, what did liberating life-altering observation did she pass unto you?" You ask, breathless with anticipation. "It's difficult until it isn't." "Huh? That's it?" Yep; five words; seven if you don't count contractions. But, con- sider the message in that unvar- nished declaration. Most of what we want for ourselves is really not difficult to obtain. We possess the tools (or know where to get them) and we know what we desire; all we have to do is go get it. The hitch in the giddy up is how we assemble the plan, making it complex and complicated. We smother it with all makeup of parameters to which we really cannot — or do not want to — abide. We spend so much energy building the golden pathway that we're too exhausted to walk upon it. As case in point, how 'bout we look at losing weight? (Wow, who would think I'd choose that as an example?) The bottom line of weight loss is brilliantly clear: Eat less; move more. Period. No pills, no programs, no late-night TV promises. See? That's not difficult, is it? If I regularly shut my mouth a few min- utes earlier and move my feet a couple of steps further, the pounds "magically" falls away. We all know that. Yet, because we're in such a hurry to "get there," we go overboard in the implementation and develop barriers to actually achieving what we want. Boldly, I stand tall, placing my fists upon my hips, puffing out my chest, and proclaiming to anyone who cares (and many who don't). "I am now on a diet. (Insert trum- pets…) Therefore, until I lose 30 pounds, I shall not be able to go with my friends, family, or busi- ness associates to any eating establishment. While imprisoned in my barren, spartan, kitchen, I will consume only unprocessed, all-natural, organic, high-fiber, sugar-free, mostly tasteless, food- stuffs. Furthermore, I will rise two hours earlier each and every day and spend that time meditating, journaling, and exercising. I have calculated that this plan will shall allow me to lose three pounds a week, which I will do this day forth until I have achieved my goals." After my pronouncement, I twirl spectacularly on my heels, place nose firmly in the air and stomp dramatically into my self- established sensory-deprivation chamber, where I shall remain in exclusion until I have achieved a smaller waistline. Hey Tinkerbell, can we put down the fairy-wand and step out from fantasy-land for a moment? What began as extremely unfussy and obtainable intention — eating better and moving more — has erupted into a full-scale mega- production requiring learning how to cook differently, shopping with new eyes, rearranging schedules, altering relationships, and devising self-inflicting intimidating goals. Building such blockades makes the procedure ridiculously difficult and horribly unpleasant. After ramming one's head against the wall enough, we will look for doors, finally "letting go" and releasing as unproductive the artificial rules and limiting beliefs; which allows us to get down to basics. We find something we will actually do and take one small, sim- ple, easy, baby step; which we repeat until we actually get what we want. It was difficult. Then it was- n't. It is up to each of us to deter- mine when we want that to change Scott "Q" Marcus is a THINspirational speaker and author. Since losing 70 pounds over 15 years ago, he conducts speeches, workshops, and presentations throughout the country. Join him on a nationally broadcast teleconference about weight loss on March 7, 2010. Find out more at http://www.ThisTimeIMeanIt.com. Food drive a success Scott Q.

Community Clips Courtesy photo Sarah Incorvaia exchanges a coffee drink for food donated by Bryan Jennings during the Valentine's Day food drive at Dutch Bros. Coffee in Red Bluff. The Northern Valley Catholic Social Service's Corn- ing and Red Bluff Family Resource Centers would like to thank Doug and Michelle Fairey and staff of the Red Bluff Dutch Bros.Coffee for putting on the second annual Dutch Love Day! canned food drive. The event was held Valentine's Day and for a donation of three canned food items and $1, patrons received a 16 oz. drink. NVCSS would also like to extend its apprecia- tion to members of the community for their donations. The food banks at both resource centers were almost empty as the recession has increased the demand for food for struggling families and the donations came just in the nick of time. If you missed the event and are interested in donat- ing food, call 528-8066 in Red Bluff or 824-7670 in Corning.
