fit for life (TM)

what will it take?

I got a call tonight.  it got me thinking about my life and the choices I’ve made.  some of us think that life happens to us that we are mere actors, scripted, and doomed.  I feel differently but perhaps that’s because I feel like I’ve been given a second chance when none was supposed to come my way.

what will it take for you to realize that life doesn’t offer many second chances? 
why would you waste any more time being miserable in a mindlessly job or routine? 
how bad does it have to get for you to create a real life for yourself?

Survival is easy. 
Purpose filled, meaningful life, hard. 

but worth every minute.

I believe that moving is essential to finding out who you are and how to make yourself happy.  we are all different but how we create a significant life starts with movement. 

however, it’s hard to move if you’re weighted down by your past mistakes as your body literally carries them with you. every day.  so, it’s time to let them go.

So, delete them.  throw them out.  Do whatever it takes to erase the past.  forever.  what you did before doesn’t matter.  if you feel compelled to reconcile what happened in your past then write letters to all those people who have helped you.  thank them. call them.  go and see them. 

Forget forgiveness right now.  forgive yourself first.  Exception:  if you’ve done something terrible. then I’m sorry, but only a lifetime of hard work will help you and those you have hurt, feel better.  start now.  the faster you get going the better you will feel.

unemployed or underemployed?
if you are unemployed or underemployed, then there’s no better time to change.  Lose everything: all the weight you ever wanted to lose literally and figuratively.  I mean everything.  all the needless crap that piles up in our lives and on our bodies.  Beware:  don’t fall victim to drugs, alcohol or worse.  look no further than your tv to see what happens when a life implodes (A&E’s Intervention). 

there are people and there are tools out there to help you:
- ebay
- craigslist
- AA
- others

Keep moving.  Move to another land.  surround yourself with good people. stay away from the bad ones.  but whatever you do;

don’t stand still.
