How To Become Vegan

Try not to fall into this trap. Going vegan can be a huge step forward to
be sure, but there are many more steps to take after that. Once you take this
step, you’ll see another... and another... and another. Take those steps as
they come. Don’t be held back by people who think you’re already
impossibly different. Also, don’t be intimidated by those who seem like
they’re impossibly further along than you are.
I didn’t go vegan for reasons of compassion. For me it started with a 30-
day trial. It was an experiment. I did it mainly out of curiosity and for
personal growth. As I continued down this path, however, I found that it
gradually transformed how I felt about animals. I used to be as uncaring
about animals as the next guy, but once I stopped eating animals and taking
their eggs and milk, it became increasingly difficult to continue to relate to
animals as consumable products. Now I look back and think it’s just insane
to think of animals as products to be bought and sold for their bodies. What
a hideous thing to do to such beautiful creatures!
Instead of listening to the people who felt I’d already gone too far, I’m
glad that I continued to listen to my heart as its influence grew more
pronounced in my life. I took many more steps along this path after going
vegan, and as I did so, I felt a lot better about myself and my ongoing path
of growth.
