A moment meant to be . . .

Stepping out of the change room at Gold's and heading toward the free weights to do the usual pre-workout warmup .  .  .  Seeing a friend named Rob and saying Hello .  .  .  Rob, not saying hello, responds with, I want what you have .  .  .  Oh?  What's that?  Rob tells you he wants some of your cheerfulness, positivity, sincere warmth .  .  .  Those are his words .  .  .  How do I get that, he asks?  This initiates a fairly long conversation in which he tells you some very personal things about pain, illness, fears, and a genuine desire to get rid of all the negative shit, and replace it with something far more positive .  .  .  This is a man who has done the heavy lifting .  .  .  He's identified what he wants to lose, and what he wants to gain .  .  .  He wants one door to close on the shit, and another to open to a better life, a higher consciousness .  .  .  You say some things and he says, That's exactly what I needed to here .  .  .  You realize that this moment is exactly the catalyst he needs to finally stop spinning his wheels .  .  .  You see the relief on his face, the change in his body language .  .  .  The door to something more positive has opened for Rob .  .  .  What he makes of this moment is ultimately up to him .  .  .  You know this was not the last conversation .  .  .  Then, it hits you .  .  .  You almost didn't go to the gym, because of a tight shoulder .  .  .  But, something made you go .  .  .  The inner voice and its Higher Source .  .  .  You gotta love how this works, huh?!


Life is beautiful baby!


Peace and love .  .  .


Until next time .  .  .  Ciao
