After I launched my Nutrition Raw business however, things were not that easy. Why? Because I was promoting a health philosophy that goes against the mainstream medical treatment methodology. And people have a lot of prejudices when it comes to things they don’t know, even if they never read a book in their lives. They look at you weird when you think differently and worst of all, if they don’t like the message, they attack the messenger.

And that’s not everything; the saddest thing of all is that most people in this world don’t really have an open mind. And this was a big shock to me.
For a moment, I thought everyone else was like me, and had the same “eager to learn” and open-minded attitude. Ha-ha, I came soon to figure out that: Nope, no Ariel, most people aren’t like you. A large majority of the world population are closed-minded by “belief”, “socioeconomic status”, “race”, “nationality”, and so many other reasons that completely impede them from seeking out the truth.

And as any reasonably intelligent person knows, people that aren’t open minded are the ones that pay the HIGHEST PRICE in society.
What’s the point of working your entire life in a job you half hate in order to pay your mortgage, and by the time you get to retire and you are meant to “enjoy” life – as they say – you get cancer and die? Does that sound like a living a good life to you? Well, it doesn’t sound like living a good life to me. But that’s often the outcome of people with narrow minds living averages lives.

I am sorry if I sound so harsh, but that’s how I feel and unless people like me speak out, things will never change.
Open-mindedness provides you with a platform to build upon, piling one idea on top of another. It’s very hard to build on experiences without an open mind. Every time you experience and try new things, it collectively adds up, strengthening the person you are and what you believe in. Luckily, not everyone is narrow-minded. I get almost daily messages from my readers these days, with words of encouragement and positives vibes that really make my job worthwhile.

Health is the birth right of each individual, and is the result of your lifestyle choices and the environment.
