You are Life

You are Life passing through your body, passing through your mind, passing through your soul.  Once you find that out, not with the logic, not with the intellect, but because you can feel that Life - you find out that you are the force tht makes the flowers open and close, that makes the hummingbird fly from flower to flower.  You find out that you arei n every tree, you are in every animal, vergetable and rock.  You are the force that moves the wind nd breathes through your body. 

The whole universe is a living being that is moved by that force, and that is what you are.  You are Life!

-- Don Miguel Ruiz: The Matery of Love

Change

Change can be good for the soul, sometimes it's long overdue!  There is change all around us. With the season's change, and moving into Winter, it's often a good time to take stock and to make space for all the new coming your way.

Often having what you want is a function of letting go of what you have and this can be rather overwhelming.  Every fear is a gift, as you learn more about yourself.

Remember, you are forever, your problem is temporory.  Don't let anything keep you from your joy.

"We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life,

but we can decide what happens in us.

How we can take it

What we do with it

And that is what really counts in the end."

5 tips to a healthier life

1. All it takes, is all you've got!
2. Challenge the limits of your physical and mental barriers and never give up on yourself.
3. By summer, you'll wish you started today
4. Never worry about moving slowly, only worry about standing still
5. There'll come a day when you can no longer exercise, walk, run, train - today is not that day

I've been part of an exciting journey this year, of getting healthier, losing weight and feeling fabulous. 

Being part of #SleekGeek has been a great experience!  It's the perfect community to be part of if you already have or are contemplating choosing a healthier and fitter lifestyle.  If you want to know more about what that's about and how I won the weight-loss challenge (only the start of my journey), then read more here!

Embrace life's destiny

What are you waiting for?  Follow your heart!

"You have a choice.  You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off of your face!" awesome inspiration from my friend Kirsten.  He is an amazing person, a great runner, and you'll never meet anyone more dedicated to running.  Why? Because he found his passion.  He took a chance on something new, and it changed his life! And now, he's inspiring me to take control, and change mine too!

 

 

1. Whatever you really want to do but you're afraid to do, do it! Take the chance!
2  It's essential to listen to your heart.  It's your souls desire.
3. If you don't listen to your heart you will inevitably be straying from your lifes path
4. The feeling of longing will not go away, so make the change!
5. Negativity constricts the flow of growth into your life, causing pain and frustration

It's simple:

• Having something you love to do is a gift from the universe
• Don't reject the grace that goes along with it
• Take a chance, don't wait, follow your heart!

I ran my first 5km run this past weekend.  It was easier than I thought, but not easy.  It took courage and it took getting up at 3am!  But I felt amazing afterwards, and I know I've achieved something that I hadn't done before! 

As Kirsten would say "Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not.  When you race him, he will win." That's for the fridge! Keep yourself inspired! 
Live your lifes purpose!
