Vision and Movement

To my count, I have missed seven workout days since the day I started. Seven when I didn't think I would miss one. I know the reasons for this and there are many, but what there is in the end is doing and not doing; to not do 100% is the same as not doing (see rule of ten for reference).

That said, what do I do? I could choose to be down on myself about it, but I've done that before and, quite honestly, it doesn't do a thing for me. Nothing at all. In the end, again, there is do or do not. I have to remove all externals from the equation and ask two questions:

1. Do I want this or not?
2. Who/what can stop me?

Let's talk about this because it needs to be talked about, then set to repeat for life. The fact is that the only one who can stop me is God. Everything else that is not God is a factor. That said, who or what can stop me? Certainly not you whoever "you" is. Wipe that from your mind right now. Along with that, I know whether I really want something or not. Let's skip over any form of illusion and just get to the facts: you can do whatever you want to do right now.

Let me say this in a way that will stick to you: 

If you are not living your passion every waking moment of today, then either do it or stop bitching about it.

End of.

Yes, you.
Yes, me.
Yes, all of us.

We must maintain that which is wild within us and a good friend wrote a post that reminds me of God's uncanny knack of drawing our attention to this simple, powerful fact.

We're either doing this or we're not. Love, friendship, exercise, travelling, moving, jobs, all of it. Get up and get the fuck on already. If you don't know how, I'll help you.
