There are few things more annoying to than people who seem to peddle inspiration. You find them on Facebook encouraging you to follow your dreams, chase the rainbow, and change your life. The reason, I\'ve found, why these people are so damned bent on inspiration is because they have discovered this wonderful thing called "energy" that I lacked because I\'m a damned couch potato. Well, for the last two weeks, I\'ve greased the groove to break myself of this addiction to crappy foods and sitting, replacing inaction with Prayer, Study, and Exercise. And, honestly, it\'s freaking sweet.
