King Benjamin and Thyroid Problems

When we are dealing with a delicate ecosystem, anything removed or added will affect the entire ecosystem for the good or bad of the system; the human soul (DYC 88:15) is one of those delicate ecosystems. 

People often come to my self-mastery classes and set goals that are radical changes from the lives they currently live. Most of the time they don't stick to the goals, and those who do, don't incorporate them into their lives after they graduate from my classes. The people who get the most benefit from my self-mastery classes are the people who take their goals slowly, and incorporate their goals into daily life gently. 

Most people *want* a radical shift in their lives whether that be dietary, or emotional, or physical, most people are unhappy, and want an immediate change. I personally wanted an immediate personal conversion like Alma the younger, or the people of King Benjamin. Unfortunately God doesn't often work that way because we often can't spiritually afford it. Most of the time we have to grow on the slow path, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. It's the slowest, but often the smartest route, because the changes cement over time, and so if we fall back into a bad habit, we've often come so far, that our failings are what most people consider successes. i.e. "I only prayed once today!" or "I didn't write in my journal on Saturday!"

Here's a video about my friend with a Thyroid problem, and how understanding human life as an ecosystem can help us change our lives less painfully and more gracefully. And if you like it go ahead and share it! :-)
