A Re-Post

I know I have posted this before, but I think it's great info. Micheal Gregory posted another great video about eating paleo.

Do you think it's worth the sacrifice...eating meat and vegetables for the rest of your life, or eating whatever you want? What's the trade off, one significantly increases your chances for healthy life, however old that ends up being. You are able to take care of yourself, don't need to be cared for, won't have to go the get refills are the pharmacy, you can be as active as you want to be til your last days. The other has possibilities of any CHD(coronary heart diseases), arthritis, hyperinsulinemeia(how close are you to becoming a diabetic), type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's(or type 3 diabetes), myocardial infarct(heart attack) pain, misery, and death....

It's your world. Let me know what you think?

The Real You???


Ever wonder why you can meet a total stranger, and give them information about yourself that your own family or closest friends don't even know about you? Why is that? Why are we afraid and hindered by other people's opinion?
So I was doing the .com workout(5k run) yesterday and was questioning this very thing. Then I thought about my last post, and how so many people thought Muhammad Ali was arrogant and cocky. Steve Prefontaine(Pre), Micheal Johnson(Olympic sprinter) Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lebron James....the list goes on and on. All of them screaming aloud letting the whole world know "I AM THE GREATEST, BEST THAT EVER WAS, AND EVER WILL BE." Anything wrong with that.
I've come a long way to understanding how people are, and why they do and act the way they do. I used to be the one to say Kanye West was a cocky s.o.b, but now my hats off to him. My hats off to anyone that can express themselves the way that suits them, not worrying about what anyone else would ever say about them. It might not be socially excepted, but who the hell gives a s*%t! Right?

So, going back to where I started, meeting a complete stranger that has no preconceived judgement about you, you can literally set the stage for the way you truly want others to perceive you as. Is this a lie, or a voice deep down inside too afraid to come out and be "THE REAL YOU." But, because of judgement and what people might say, we say and do what's accepted.....so much easier that way, right?

I believe we create our own reality, and everything that is-was. Everything that will be, is. It's only after we drop all of these preconceived notions about how our life should be, can we get down to being REAL, and start actually living. The potential there is limitless!

Are you living your life? Let me know what you think.

MY AFFIRMATMIONS

"Right here and right now, I call forth and activate the evolutionary impulse of my inner being. With absolute trust, I surrender to where the Spirit leads me and experience the peace that surpasseth all understanding."
"Right here and right now, I acknowledge myself as an ever-evolving being and surrender to the transforming touch of the Spirit. Throughout this day, I have dominion over my consciousness and happiness. Patience, forgiveness, and lovingkindness are the order of my day."

(Micheal Beckwith, "Spiritual Liberation")
