Where do I get my Commitment and Discipline?
My commitment and discipline starts with a book called 365 Tao by Deng Ming Dao everyday and in 2011 it will have been 20 years ago that I started.
The book is oriented to spiritual practice and it has also served to push and coax me forward in times of adversity, prosperity, sadness and joy. It just struck me today how that could so easily be applied to my (past) struggle with gout, my athletic endeavors, and my constant amusement in creating wealth.
Commitment and Discipline applied
Helping other guys with gout has inadvertently become a passion of mine. I joke that while helping people overcome their gout pain is my passion, powder skiing is my addiction. At least it’s a more healthy one . . . more than I could say in the past. (Is that my explanation of how I gave myself Gout?)
What I’ve recently become frustrated with is my limited ability to help more people with their gout. More often than not, people with gout think every time they get over their gout attack that it was the last one; it’s over and I’m past it now. I lived that one so many times . . . but a lot of drugs and surgeries later, learned that the real deal is keepin’ it real.
Personally, I have an over-abundance of first-hand experience with this one. At one point I was resigned to the fact that gout and I were going through life together and that I needed to accept that. But lucky for you, I didn’t.
So here comes the big speech, drum-roll please; “what does it take to over-come Gout?” . . . “Commitment and Discipline”.
Breathe Deep, Drink Good Water, Eat Real Food, Sleep Well. Commitment and Discipline. Sounds easy doesn’t it?

My husband has Gout which is very bother some. Would you please give us any idea to fight with?
Hi Cissy – yes, I will. Commitment & Discipline are needed . . . after you develop the proper mindset – then you will know what to do. Here’s the nutshell version: with gout the body is holding too much uric acid because the kidneys are not able to deal with it. The kidneys regulate the pH of the body but because most of us are way to over acidic in general, the kidneys are working harder and harder to deal with it. Do your husbands kidneys a favor and learn to alkalize. The book I always recommend to get your head wrapped around this concept is “Alkalize or Die” – it’s very common, google it and buy it. Thx, ;b)
