I know we don't normally do a Thursday blog post, but, I have something to say, so what the hell. I know a lot of people like to give advice and think that their advice is the best advice. Well, that said I have some advice for you. Who says?
What can I mean by that? I have an axe to grind and here goes.
Who says how often you can exercise? Your body.
Who says what you are doing is right? Your body.
Who says if your choices in life are good or bad? You do.
I guess what I'm trying to say is block out all the negativity you get from the world around you. If you found something that works for you, then go ahead and do it. If its an exercise routine, an eating habit or anything else that you find helpful in your life. That said if there is something in your life that is unhealthy, unhelpful or just bad for you, toss it out on it's ear. Whether its a food, a job or a person. You don't need negativity in your life.
What makes YOU happy? What makes YOU the person you want to be? Those are the things you need to do, hear and see. Taste, touch and feel. The feelings you have are important and it's up to you to make them the best feelings you can.
I know this post sounds a bit gruff and you may ask why are you feeling like this? The truth is, I don't know. I'm happy. I love my life right now, yes, it's busy. Yes, it can be a struggle sometimes. That said, I have the best family in the world to get through whatever comes my way. My wife and I will soon be celebrating 20 years of marriage, my kids are great students and great kids soon to be off to college (2 years and 4 years from the writing of this). Does that mean that everything is perfect? No, I am trying to get in shape. I've lost a bunch of weight and am trying to tone and build muscle. It's not happening at a pace I'd like it to. What do I do? I redouble my efforts, because this is something I really want. Then the voices come from the world around me. "Don't overdo it", "Make sure you don't get hurt." I know all these things are said out of concern for me, but, why does the world seem to think that I didn't think of these things? Like I'm just running headlong at this with out a roadmap. I have a road map and since I'm not covering the ground I want I just upgraded my car from a Tonka truck to a midsized. I guess I will wrap up this rant (for can you really call it anything else?) by saying this. I appreciate what the world at large is trying to do, but, I got this. I want you, the world, to come on this ride with me. I want you to look out for me, but, redoubling my efforts is not a reason for an intervention. So let's mount this horse we call life and ride together into the great mystery that awaits.
Until next time Gentle Reader
