A couple months ago, my wife and I went to this buffet for a special occasion.

My goal was to go to a place that had great food and that I could get my fill.

I love oriental food! Give me Chinese, Japanese, etc. food any day.

So we found this buffet that had everything I wanted.

Sushi (if you have ever trained with me, you know how much I LOVE sushi), noodles, rice, fish, and chicken in every kind that you would want.

My mouth was watering as we walked in the door, the smell was amazing.

Right away I went to the sushi, of course.

It was set up so that the sushi was out and ready to grab, and grab I did.

I loaded my plate up…but only modestly because there was so many other things that I wanted to eat while we were there.

I went back to my seat… already drooling over what was to come.

The first bite went in…

And came out just as quick!

The rice was dry! The fish was dry! It was disgusting!

I analyzed the rest on my plate.

All of them looked like they had been sitting out in the Sahara for the last week.

I don’t know why I didn’t notice it when I first grabbed them. So don’t ask!

I went to analyze the rest of the food in the restaurant, and honestly, I don’t think they cleaned out the food trays from the week prior.

This place definitely did not satisfy me.

This brings me to my point. My goal was to go to a place that had GREAT food and that I could get my fill.

This place met one of my criteria…

I could eat all I wanted, but it wasn’t great. This leads me to the video.

    John, I really liked this one. I recently read an old talk by President Boyd K Packer entitled “Music and the Spirit of the Lord” He talks about the idea of having your ladder leaning against the wrong wall as well, but focussing on perhaps the wall your leaning on is not a wall supported by the Lord. And also I remember hearing a story about a professional violinist who worked for 35 years, practicing 8 hours every day to get where he was. After one of His concerts a man raced up from the back of the concert hall shook the mans hand and said, “I would give anything to be able to play the violin like that, that was amazing!” The violinist looked back at him somberly and said, “would you be willing to practice 8 hours a day for 35 years?” The same concept you were talking about, I have goals concerning my health, but I’m not sure I’m ready to do what it takes yet. Can you tell me, how can I better motivate myself to do what it takes to improve my health, and what can I do to start small being that I am very busy and involved in other area’s of my life? Thanks John, your great!
