LIVE Better and Be the CURE!
LIVE CONSORTIUM'S motto illustrates the spirit through which LIVE CONSORTIUM seeks to achieve its mission and the individual determination and self-discipline required by each of us in order to realize that vision. Moreover, the motto is the union of LIVE CONSORTIUM'S challenge to individuals to dedicate each day of their life to live better than the day before. It empowers each of us to take individual responsibility of our lives, encourages all people to live a proactive and healthy lifestyle, and communicates a message of health, identity, and vitality to all people. Independent from each other, LIVE Better and Be the CURE are significant, symbolic, and fundamental to LIVE CONSORTIUM'S vision and mission, as well as essential to its success in the future.
LIVE Better... By LIVING Better today, each of us can have the opportunity to LIVE even Better tomorrow. LIVE Better is not only a directive to each and every individual to keep improving the mind, body, and soul, but also a direct challenge to every individual to help others in the community to do the same. In essence, LIVE Better is how every individual should strive to improve individually and how we all can help our world by motivating our family, friends, and neighbors as they strive to LIVE Better.
As we all should understand, we are all humans and we all make mistakes. Despite the privilege to which one may or may not be born and bred, despite the physical and mental attributes and burdens that can be used to further define individuals, and despite every other quality and fact which make us each unique, we all have an obligation to love our family, friends, and neighbors, treat others as we would like others to treat us, and perform at least one unexpected and unselfish act for another person every day. Through unselfish and positive actions toward our fellow citizens, it is possible for every one to LIVE Better . . . the results of which, undoubtedly, will have a great impact on our world.
Be the CURE! No three words can describe the human body's remarkable ability, no matter the physical, mental, or emotional challenge, to heal itself without modern medicine than Be the CURE. LIVE CONSORTIUM believes every individual is unique in their ability, through their body, to fight and possibly defy the multitude of health related illnesses present in the world. Stigma, a negative human emotion perceived and unique to each of us, can only be conquered by the individual within whom it resides. By confronting our own stigmas, we can then help our loved ones and fellow members of our community battle the stigmas they are fighting within themselves. If diligent and vigilant in proactively living the meaning behind the words, a stigma-free world is well within our sights.
LIVE Better, Be the CURE is a philosophy of how and why an individual should live a healthy and vital life and a challenge to all people to not only fight the stigmas that exist within each of us, but also the stigmas that shroud the world on which we all live. In so doing, the world can take an enormous step forward in the battle against HIV and other diseases. By encouraging all people to love their neighbor and inspiring everyone to proactively receive and be compassionate, care, and love from/to their family, friends, and loved ones, we believe it is possible to eradicate HIV and many other viruses and diseases from our world. Our expectations are high, destination known but not currently within reach, and the obstacles in our path are too numerous and massive to quantify. Even so, there is no better time than today for each of us individually and all of us collectively to LIVE Better, Be the CURE!
