Robert Riopel returns for a second episode for a very upbeat application of being available at the right time in a person's life. Don't give up if you have offered wisdom to a person who is not yet ready to accept your life experience. However, do be ready whenever they are ready. "Not yet" is frequently a non-verbal expression of acceptance, but not now. We need to learn how to discern a person's emotions and logic while always being ready and prepared to respond at the right time.

Dai Manuel overcame morbid obesity through a journey that began with a decision. He learned that mental and physical health are integrally linked. The change he made in his lifestyle was and is a journey. Through this journey, he realized that we must ultimately respond to three questions, 1) Can I do this? 2) Will what I want to do work? 3) Is the decision, and am I worth it? Our response to these questions will primarily be a manifestation of our belief systems resulting from our upbrining and belief systems. We must develop non-negotiables as part of our life principles.
