Sugarfied is a coined phrase often used when rating a wine of low quality. I began to think just how many other ways this word could be used to illustrate how we show up in life. We have the option to be robust and full-bodied but how well do we measure up. Just look around you and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Let’s explore a few areas together.
Relationships – How many of you that are in relationships could honestly make this statement, “I can’t see what anyone else could possibly offer me that I’m not getting with (fill in the blank).” “This is it for me.” “We either make it or we perish together?” “There’s not anything that I would do or say by myself that I would not also do in the presence of my spouse or partner.” [Robust, Substance, Full-Bodied, Commands Premium Price]
“It just happened. You know I really do love you I just have an odd way of showing it. It’s really difficult because there’s so much temptation out there and I’ve not found an effective way to say no.” [Sugarfied, Lacks Substance, Fake, Lacks Soul, Deserves Bare Minimum]
Occupation – Each day I show up I give 110% of my effort regardless of whether I want to be here or not. I play full out from the moment I arrive until the moment I leave. This is not just a job but an opportunity leading me to higher grounds.” [Robust, Substance, Full-Bodied, Commands Premium Price]
What time is it? I’m just here so that I can pay my bills and I do just enough to get by. My life is a series of Blue Mondays, Humpday Wednesdays and TGIF Fridays.” [Sugarfied, Lacks Substance, Fake, Lacks Soul, Deserves Bare Minimum]
Almost everywhere I go the world has become sugarfied, thin skinned and weak. It’s so easy to standout and this is why when someone does it easy to notice. A sugarfied suspect is easy to spot because when you look in their eyes there’s nothing there. It’s just like looking at a woman with fake boobs, heavy makeup and a weave, you just never know what you’re going to get.
Restaurants that don’t remember your name after you’ve been there 15 times are sugarfied. ‘Highend’ restaurants that bring you a tray of plastic desserts rather than training their waiters to recite from memory are sugarfied. People who friend you up on Facebook because they want to pitch their business opportunity before finding out anything about you are sugarfied. People who talk about doing something big but let the conversation die on the vine before they ever get started are sugarfied.
Men and women who cheat rather than being honest with their partners or spouses are sugarfied. Parents who waited to become empty nesters before they began to do anything significant with their lives are sugarfied. People who still believe that a four college degree, a white picket fence and enough debt to fill Mt. Everest is the way to go are sugarfied. Women who haven’t had an orgasm in years with their husbands but are too afraid to let him know he’s not hitting the spot are sugarfied.
Women who would prefer to slap on a wig rather than treat and take care of the hair they already have are sugarfied. Men with big bellies who want their wives to be fine are sugarfied. People who are consumed by reality TV or any TV for that matter are sugarfied. People who have not read a non-fiction book since high school are sugarfied. People who claim they’re always busy but produce little results are sugarfied. People who chase the money rather than seeking to provide value are sugarfied.
If you’re looking for the genetically composed you don’t have to look far. All you have to do is look in the mirror or turn to your right or to your left. On the other hand, if your looking for the natural home grown, carefully prepared you’re going to have to be patient unless its you because in my experience these are a rare find.
That’s my spin on it.

Consuming large amounts of sugar in our diet leads to diabetes. Failing to live authentically leads to a sugarfied life. A sugarfied life leads to dis-ease in the physical, mental, spiritual and even financial areas of our lives. And there's nothing 'sweet' about that. Awesome post!!!!!
