INFORMATION IS THE STARTING POINT

Opening the mailbox, I knew from the oversized envelope that I had received a catalog of enticing classes. Looking through it, I wondered if I could cook like an expert chef after watching 24 lectures presented on instant video. The prospect of quickly acquiring advanced skills lured me in. I hoped that this course would yield better results than the Play Piano Now and Speak Spanish Effortlessly instant videos already filed on my play list.

THE FALSE PROMISE OF INSTANT RESULTS

The 150-course catalog that I received is just one example of the large volume of information that flows to us through each of our communication channels. Health is one of the more prominent topics. It seems we have more pages of information on health than grains of sand on a beach! Yet health depletion and illness are common among our population. Despite promotional messaging, information alone does not yield results.

A PROCESS OF LEARNING, PRACTICING, AND PERFECTING

We have come to expect things to be easy, yet the things we feel the best about are those that we accomplished through endeavor and effort. Whether it is cooking, playing a musical instrument, or building health and well-being, transforming information into knowledge, skills, and mastery takes place by following a series of steps. It’s a process of learning, practicing, and perfecting.

Embracing the time, effort, and dedication needed to complete the process is often easier and more enjoyable by joining an engaging group led by qualified instructors. “Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher,” a Japanese proverb reminds us. We’ve found this to be true as we practice together in the High Health Network.

These simple but powerful ideas are just a start. Take more control of your life and well-being by joining the High Health Network today.
