Vegetarians Are Not Healthy And The Importance Of Dietary Protein

Are you a self righteous vegetarian? Are you holier than thou? Is it trendy within your (limited) circles to be a vego? Do you consider yourself healthy because you are a vego?

Then have I got some news for you. You are probably protein deficient, lacking essential amino acids, likely suffering vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Why? Because you jumped in without doing your homework.... 

Obesity A Worldwide Problem - Why? Cure?

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. More than 1 billion adults are overweight - at least 300 million of them clinically obese.

This is a major contributor to the global burden of chronic disease and disability. Often coexisting in developing countries with under-nutrition, obesity is a complex condition, with serious social and psychological dimensions, affecting virtually all ages and socioeconomic groups....

Your Doctor Recommended Ideal Weight - Healthy Or Not?

Your recommended "healthy" ideal weight is a table made up of a list of heights and the weight you "should" be to be healthy. I do not know where the table originated from but I guess it was the medical establishment or some government body, or possibly pulled out of someones' butt.

Now according to these tables I am obese, I think my ideal weight is around 95kg - skinny in fact for me.

Yet a girl I know who eats junk food every meal is considered healthy by her doctor because she weighs in within the ideal weight range for her height... 

How To Succeed In Life

Going through my logs the other day I found a few people were visiting my site looking for the answer to "How to succeed in life". 

Since I am considered by many to be a success (apparently only about 5% of Screen Actors Guild members actually make thier living from acting! That's a lot of unemployed wishful actors) I feel as though I can write a few thoughts, but for this one time I am going to turn over the reigns of intellect to some much better known, much wiser heads as I present  How to succeed in life...

10 Reasons You Should Not Give Up Your Day Job

Recently a "Personal Development Guru" or Twit, as I prefer, posted an article on his Blog called "10 reasons you should never get a job", encouraging people to quit their day jobs and become creative.

Someone then posted on his forums "Hey Steve I took your advice and quit my job!" then later in the post he said he was really excited but that now he had no money and no income and did not know what to do next. Steve then went on to congratulate him on breaking the chains and gaining freedom, then said go and be creative.

Wow such sagely advice, here's some much better advice:

10 reasons you should not give up your day job... 

Wishful Thinking vs Positive Thinking / Affirmations vs Action

When I was in Australia I would hear many people say to me "I wish I was like you".  After a while I began to ask them "What? The pizza and icecream I cannot touch, the tuna and rice I have to eat every 2 hours, the TV I do not watch as I have to go to exercise 3 hours a day, the relationships I lost from girlfriends not understanding the big picture? What exactly is it you wish to be like?"

Are you wishing you had the ideal life or are you enacting it? 

Is It Time To Give Up Dreaming And Get A Real Job?

Should I give up my Hollywood Dreams and get a real job?

The continual chase, the lack of reward for effort put in, dealing with situations beyond your control and the uncertainity and irregularity of income. Or I get a nice comfortable (safe?) job that pays me a good sized pay check each and every week?

This is a question I have had to ask myself often in my career, now more so than ever...

Making A Decision

All of us at several times during our lives are forced to make decisions that are difficult to make. We are put in a position where we do not know the best path to take, often at least one choice will be emotionally painful.

When I am stuck in this position here is how I quickly come to a decision.... 

Life Is A Game - Play To Win

I saw an interesting quote today that got me thinking:

"The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers" - Ralph Nader

I was challenged on a forum that I post on recently that this site was for my own self agrandisement, not true. I write this site for two reasons (1) Self promotion, I am trying to advertise myself to a wider audience and gain more work (2) To open up myself and let others see how I am getting ahead in life so that maybe they can learn from me.

These naysayers would rather have me keep quiet rather than show others that life is a game you can win...
