Personal Responsibility
It is my strong belief that in order to succeed with any program to restore good eyesight and good health, you have to be a person who takes great personal responsibility for his/her health. What I have done to build and maintain good health and perfect eyesight requires a lot of work. Actually, it's not so hard to do as it is to change habits. And there is absolutely no one that can do that for you. No matter how rich you are, you can not pay to change your own habits and diet. You must do it yourself. It has been said that there is no one on this earth that cares for your money more than you do. I think everyone takes this at face value. I suggest that the same principle applies to your health. But I wonder how many people really believe that. How many people watch their health like they watch their money? You are the best steward of your health and wealth. There are absolutely no substitutes. Still, it seems that people will go to great lengths to avoid personal responsibility for many areas of their life. They give their money to stock brokers. They trust (without question) their health to doctors and little pills. Improving your eyesight will require a great deal of commitment. It requires you to take responsibility and to actually do something - something much more than popping a pill. I know from experience that it requires follow through. Speaking from personal experience - there is no shortcut. Personal Responsibility can be difficult to define. Sometimes the best way to define something is to give examples. I'm going to take the opposite approach. Below is a list of things that are typically displayed by someone without a scrap of personal responsibility. If any of them describe you or if you feel strangely comfortable relating to anything on this list, you should probably click away to another site. You are doomed to dependency. Like I said earlier, this is my soap box.
Reasons to click away to some other site that sells diet pills and discount contact lenses:
1) You have bought several pieces of exercise equipment that sit idle in your basement. You've finished paying for it and you still haven't lost any weight. Worse, you can't figure out why. <click> away
2) You expect the government to support you in your old age. Actually, you don't care if the government supports you as long as you don't have to do it. <click> away
3) You have a tendency to blame others for your lot in life. For example, you blame the color of your skin (or your parents or your teachers or your spouse) for your problems. <click> away
4) You believe modern science when they propose that everything about you is determined by your genetic code. In this way, you can blame your genes (or your parents or ancestors or God or ???) for your troubles. Worse, you think that nothing can be changed because it's genetic - so you give up. <click> away.
5) When you hear tires squeal, you hope it's the guy behind you so you can sue him when he hits you. You go through life feeling that someone owes you a living and your only job is to figure out who that person is and collect your windfall. <click> away
6) When you read about a burglar who, while trying to commit a burglary, injures himself falling from the homeowner's ladder that was left leaning against the house for repairs, you side with the burglar. After all, the homeowner is responsible for making sure the ladder is safe to climb. <click> away.
7) If you think that the little old lady who spilled hot McDonald's coffee on her crotch should have been able to hold McDonald's responsible for her ineptitude. <click> away.
8) If you think fast food restaurants are responsible for what YOU shove down your pie hole, <click> away.
Well, a whole book could be written on lack of personal responsibility. But, if you read through this list and can't quite seem to relate, you might actually have the fortitude to do what's necessary to restore your eyesight. Here's
