The Power of Creation
It's easy to talk about what's wrong with the world. What's wrong is all around us, especially if we are very new to this journey of transformation.
When most people first learn about raw food, a lot of their attention tends to get caught up in how fucked up the world is. Corptisim, Food Lobbies, the Government, the Shadow Government.. etc
Naturally, when someone becomes very fixated on 'what's wrong', they start to ask them self, "Who's to blame?"
I'm all about accountability, but when most of your energy is focused on 'what's wrong' and 'who's to blame', what ends up happening is that you loose your ability to Create. After all, why create something if the world is so fucked up? Why do anything expect complain?
Yes, the world is very challenging at times. Yes, there is a lot of suffering on Earth. BUT!!! There is also a lot of good. There is a lot of joy. And more than ever, more than any other time in the history of our planet, there is a lot of opportunity to transform.
However, you can't transform a situation with just criticism, you have to Create.
Goal Setting is part of the science of Creation. Goal Setting is part of the process of getting clear about what you want, what you want to give and what you want to stand for.
"What's wrong with the world" is a start. That statement gets you clear on the first step, "What you don't want." But you have to go further. Just knowing what you don't want isn't enough. You have to know what you want.
When I say "want", many of you hear "material want". Although that might be part of goal setting, it is the least important part. The most important part is, "What do you want to stand for?"
A Small Personal Testimony
Three years ago I became very clear that I wanted to stand for Community. I saw that the number one reason people didn't follow through with a healthy lifestyle was because they felt they were alone. So, upon making that distinction, I chose to create something. I chose to create Community.
Today I run a couple of the most supportive sites on the web related to raw food. The sites I run are also (I'm pretty sure) the most visited sites on the web in terms of traffic (related to raw food). The sites provide a nice income and will continue to provide even more income now that I've been working full time on them. The events I throw are almost always packed, I often vacation for free (by hosting retreats for others), and I'm friends with almost every major raw and holistic health author/chef out there.
I have friends all around the world and people who I haven't even met who email me telling me that I've been a major factor in their health / spiritual journey.
I have no boss and no schedule other than the one I set.
And I feel like I've just stated.
All this started with a simple goal - one of many goals I have. "Create the most visited, supportive, authentic, transparent websites in the space of raw food, earn income from it and have fun in the process."
[Since originally setting this goal a few years ago, I have evolved it further.]
This goal may seem trivial to you. It may seem boring. That's fine. This was my goal, something that mattered to me. It doesn't matter what the goal is, as long as it matters to you.
The point of this post isn't for me to toot my own horn. I rarely talk about these things unless I'm trying to make a point. And that point is I want you to Create. I want you to set goals. And I want you to focus on what's possible.
Not because it's fun (which it is). Not because it will bring you success (which it will). But because it's your responsibility.
It's your responsibility to make the planet a better place. It's your responsibility to take what you know about healthy living, eco living, spiritual living and all those other good things and share it.
There are people out there that are ready to being their journey of transformation, they just need a guide. Someone to make it easier for them to start or easier for them to keep going.
Could that be you? Maybe!
Goal Setting
1) Set specific goals stated in the positive.
2) Not just in your head, put them on paper!
3) Review them regularly to stay inspired and to make sure they still speak to you.
4) Repeat.
Of course action is needed as well ; )
If you're serious about Goal Setting and need some pointers or help to get you started, shoot me an email at dhrumil [at] welikeitraw [dot] com - I have some tools that might help you in your journey.

To EMIT POSITIVITY
If negativity is directed at me, I want to absorb that energy and possibly transform it into positive energy.. instead of reflecting it as it is. I've found that reflecting the negative energy only justifies it to the source, making it seem as if the sequence, or the order of events makes no difference (who did what first).
This also applies to my work, I'm a software developer, and used to work for anything that would pay the bills, banks, public schools, on and on.. Now I only want to labor for positivity.
So my primary goal is quite simple, but it touches almost everything I do, so it's very grand and will be very challenging.

May everyone's goals become realised!
Here are my babies...
I am super healthy, glowing, strong, and beautiful and I maintain this and my ideal weight for my body type effortlessly and peacefully and with joy.
I am free from anxiety and I the limited sleep I require (5-6 hours a night) is perfectly refreshing.
I am filled with positive and productive and creative energy for my life, work, and relationships.
With perfect naturalness and freedom from neurosis, I channel the perfect amount of this time and energy into currently identified work and projects, as well as ones that reveal themselves to me along the way, as well as use the perfect amount of time for myself, inaction, and silence.
I have the best relationship ever.
Within six months, I have written an excellent, complete first draft of my doctoral thesis, which impresses my supervisor, and which was done with enjoyment and easy, and was in fact fun to write!
I manifest a perfect and well-paid job for myself and a beautiful home that I own in America, where I can enjoy the fruits of my labour, eat wonderful living foods, see my family more often and prepare for the next stages of my life.
Thank you for the opportunity to share these goals with the raw community and the loving universe!!!
With gratitude and love, Jessamine

Great post!! Thanks for that!
I have commited to simplicity for 2009. I love fasting and observing my physical addictions - so left brain :)
So I have dedicated 2 weeks of every month to doing liquid fasting - for the entire year..so by the end of it I will have liquid fasted for 6 months - half the year ;)
When I say liquids I will be incorporating - Pure Active Mineral Rich Spring Water, E3Live, Plenty of fresh organic juices - mostly GREENS, Rejuvelac, Medicinal Herb Decoctions with various plant medicines (like pau d'arco, rosehips, foti, red clover, schizandra..the list goes on it will vary), and the occasional elixir..no sweeteners though..I will include a tablespoon of Hemp Seeds blended in water once a day along with a possible superfood to keep me balanced.
So ya..good times :) Thanks for the support!

I will be enrolling in a holistic nutrition class later this year. While I don;t think I will be quitting my day job, I want to know more about nutrition for myself, and also to be able to help my yoga students and other people, should they ask me for nutritional guidance.
In the meantime, I am reading all I can about raw/living food and its place in health and healing (luckily, I am a librarian with borrowing privileges at the Library of Congress!!)
As always, I am focused on a daily yoga practice (asanas, but even more important are the spiritual aspects)

I think I might get a dehydrator, and possibly a blender that costs more than $47.
Just a thought :-)

It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Isn't it?!? I personally can't think of anything more visually appealing then beautiful fruit :)
"Nice" to see that I'm not alone in this. I think I'll be going for a short water fast then. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...
