Where I Want To Be.

Isn't it amazing how the human body works... how it digests food to form building blocks for the body's cells. It really is amazing if you think about it. We take the miracles of nature for granted each day... Most of us don't treat our bodies the way we should.  We mistreat our bodies by putting all these preservatives and stuff that isn't good for us.  Plus... most of us lead a sedimentary lifestyle.  So many times I try to work up the motivation to make changes... and for the last few months.. I've worked a bit on it.. and feel much healthier... it makes a big difference when you have something in your future to work toward. I've been given some warnings in the form of just hinky feelings.. I get those from time to time.. as I've said before, I think people overlook the little signals that the universe throws at them. We get too caught up in our wants.. what we desire for everyday living... that we completely ignore warnings. It takes awhile for people to get into a harmonious balance with nature and ourselves... some of us never get to that point. I'm still not sure how close I am.. but I feel much better about it than I did last year at this time. I've realized that I feel much better when I'm making an active effort to make positive changes in my life.  It really doesn't matter if and when those changes get enacted. The main focus is that I am trying. I think it took me awhile to recognize that... that it's part of living... making things happen.. and when we just accept things as they are... even if we aren't happy with them... then we are just existing... not living... there's a big difference. Sometimes we even get so focused on others that we forget to live our own life. There are too many distractions in life as it is... sure life isn't all about making a constant effort... we all need to allow ourselves some downtime... but one day of downtime... leads to two days.. then three.. next thing you know... weeks have passed.. and then we get caught in a rut of lethargy in our lives... Motivation can come from the most obscure of sources.  I used to be so down.. but most of it wasn't about others... even if I made it about others.. it was about my inability to take charge of my life and get things done. But that's over...  I might take a breather from living and just coast at times... but I hope to continue to take charge of my life and work to get things done.  It's those people who work toward something... that usually get somewhere... and I'll keep working.. until I get where I want to be.
