I LOVE asparagus!

Yeah, I do . . .  But in fact, this post has NOTHING to do with asparagus . . .


In the last week, I've had two conversations with two terrific friends which have stayed with me . . .


Conversation #1 . . .


M has had some health trouble for a few years . . .  Breathing issues, lung issues, stomach issues, intestinal issues, energy issues . . .  You get the picture . . .  Tested for everything under the sun, and it comes back (thankfully) negative . . .  M has said over and and over, I have to lose some weight, and change my lifestyle . . . 


Conversation #2 . . .


D has some life issues . . .  Childhood and adult . . .  Getting therapy . . .  Can't let shit go . . .  So many things from D's past continue to impact the present . . . As we talked, I had the feeling D just needs to let it all go, and said so, and D asked, How do I let it go? . . .  Let me back up . . .   I've let ALL KINDS OF SHIT go . . .  Believe me, my life hasn't been the one you might choose . . .  lol  But I embrace everything . . .  And I've let it all go . . .  And I mean, everything!  

But his question caught me . . .  How do I let it go?  I had to think about that . . .  And I've come to the conclusion that it was mostly this . . .  I had come to the point when I was so completely fed up with letting the shit rule my life . . . So I said, let that stuff go!  And I did, a couple of decades ago . . .  Simple, huh?  Maybe not . . .


Back to #1 . . .


M is so positive about embracing the fitness lifestyle, and feels SO MUCH better and empowered for doing it . . .  M reached the point of being absolutely fed up, and did what needed to be done . . .  And will never look back . . .

Back to #2 . . .


D hasn't yet reached the point of being so fed up with letting the negative rule life . . .  But D will . . .  And when D does, I'll put a notch in my belt . . .  Another person reached on the TRUE level, the level of Spirit . . .


Here's the point . . .  We have to reach the point of feeling so much pain, that we finally say, It isn't worth it . . .  And when we do, great stuff happens, because we don't want to look back and see that shit again . . .  Seems to be the human condition, huh?!


Peace and love!


Life is beautiful baby . . .


Ciao!!

Very well put, and so true. And sometimes, once we let go, bad stuff will try to creep back in, and that's when the real test of strength comes in, and that's when we win.
