You can't just exercise, and eat like crap. You can't just go to class and expect to retain the knowledge.{you actually have to study :)} You can't just pray and expect to have spiritual growth. It is about action and attitude.
I lately have been feeling the strain of just life in general. I always think back to the movie "Into the Wild". How i dream of one day being secluded, living simply, enjoying the most small details. Yet, i need to be here. Be present, to hopefully make this world a little better place, to achieve self- fulfillment, to have a sense that my life has meaning.
It is an ongoing battle in my mind.
That is why i am trying to not focus so much on "body image". I believe we are all spiritual beings. I did not say religious. I said spiritual.
I am thankful that i have this presence here on earth. That i have a body to feel things, hear things, see, and taste. To experience this world.
So why does it feel like i am obsessed with the way my body is. It is merely a structure, a rented temple, until i die- and will return to my spiritual home.
It is important to keep ourselves in working order. Eat healthy, exercise, and keep a positive attitude. When our houses are messy or cluttered, often times we feel distraught, anxious and out of order. Well it is the same with our body. We need to keep our "home", our body, in standing order. So we can experience the most out of this world. In order to achieve our full potential we must first have a happy heart. Which i do, thanks to my family. Now i am focusing on the happy body.
Nick told me today, "Its all about your attitude." - The most true statement i've ever heard in my life.
The Trinity. father, son, and the holy spirit.
Don't be focused on materials. Enjoy life.
