It means have control over yourself first before you can have control over other things outside of yourself.. Private victories precede public victories. It all starts within you.

So that means too much sugar in our bodies. Anyways, how do we see that as a money making opportunity as well as helping diabetics? It’s really pretty simple. This is how my cousin and I did it.
