You Do You - You Already Have What It Takes

No Matter Where You Go, There You Are

Truth of the matter is, we’re all the same. We fall subject to the working of our inner chemistry than to our inner psyche. We think we are in charge and calling the shots when indeed we are really emotionally driven beings who respond to our world less-so with logic and more-so by the waves of our feelings as that trigger all sorts of hormonal waves that ebb and flow causing us to react to life rather than respond to life. We live in this rhythmical pattern of coming and going and growth and decline followed by regrowth. We live life in comparison and try to figure out what it is we are doing so wrong and others are doing so right.

No matter what you think about that other person and how awesome their lives must be, it’s not true (not completely anyway). It’s only your brain’s perception based on your own life’s experiences, your culture, and your beliefs. They too are just like you…struggling day-to-day to get this “thing” organized. Trust me, they are not sitting on the sofa, planning to binge-watch 6 hours of Netflix, while eating a frozen Sara Lee chocolate cake, completely guilt-free because they have finished their daily half-marathon, their house is immaculate, the kids are over at her sister’s house, and her husband is out playing golf after which he plans to stop off at the grocery store and then come home and cook dinner.

We imagine all kinds of things. “They!” Why can’t we have what “they” have? We keep asking that question but we never ask who “they” are. And, we have not idea it is that we think “they” have that we want so much.

We say, “how is it she has no problem with weight?” Or, “How is it he always finds time to workout.” We ask these questions as if we know the lives they live and have lived to this moment in time. Would you trade places? Would you trade your everything for their everything? No, I am not talking about spouses, children, families, or any other with whom you are limbicly bonded.

For now. Keep exercising. Just keep working at maintaining that strategic energy deficit and force your body to rely on that stored energy. Calorie-by-calorie and pound-by-pound will turn into inch-by-inch. It’s going to happen. The only thing that’ll stop you is you.
