Enough

 I agree with this....Too many people don't realize how awesome they are, the story they have to tell, or the fact of the story is why  they are awesome.  Stop beating yourself up.  Realize the story created an awesome version of yourself that is meant to shine for others to see.

Step up on that mountain top and absorb the culmination of what it took to get there and BE.  BE the amazing person that it took to get there.  BE you.  BE.

"Enough" is a bit sketchy.  What is "enough"?  Be yourself, keep fighting, and know you are "enough" when you keep fighting to be the best version of YOU.  Through all the storms, doubt, and attacks on who you are, you WILL stand on that mountain and know YOU are "enough".

Flat tire?

 I just had a member come up to me that rides his bike here each day.  He asked if I had a pump.  Of course.  

He explained he just put a new tube in and didn't understand why it kept going flat.

I explained to him that sometimes the culprit is inside of the rim of the tire.  You have to clean out the inside of the tire itself, or the trigger for flat will cause it again.

Replace the tube as many times as you want, but the abrasive thing that causes the next flat will be there until you clean "that" out.

Ramp it up

 I was reminded by this last night with fireworks.  There is a LOT of noise before the explosion of beauty.  If you are going to make noise, produce a colorful explosion.  An explosion with colors that branches out in all directions and that makes others see the noise that produced the colors is worth the noise.

Make sure your noise produces a parade of explosive colors., sparkles, and is outreaching.

Its time to "ramp it up"  We are not going to simply hear the "BOOM".  We are going to "bring" the noise.

Bring it!

Fireworks

 I spent the 4th watching a lonnnnnggg firework show at Unity Park in Greenville.  The amazing thing that I witnessed was how many people showed up to watch a ton of explosions.  Traffic was INSANE!  People were camped out at the QT to the point no one could get gas.

I made the comment to someone that it would be better to have a Roman Candle war at home with your neighbors.  Shoot a bottle rocket.  I don't like watching something outside of something I am a part of.  I can be a part of watching at times, but I want to be a part of DOING.

Lets shoot some fireworks.

Escape

 Dog owners have experienced this a few times.  My rescue decided that she had an opening when the garage door was opened and took full advantage.  Poof.  It took a while to find her.  While in full panic mode frantically searching for her, I realized that she was not necessarily trying to escape.  She was exploring areas outside of her immediate environment.

An "escape" may simply need to be exploration.  The question is not "Can you escape?"  The question is.....  Are you "escaping" or exploring?  You have to escape in order to explore.  Lets just not find you hit by a car on the side of the road!

Lets keep the escaping and exploring healthy.  Come back with new perspective, refreshed, and ready to be rewarded with a treat.

The "pit"

 Tis the season......  I worked at a peach packing shed in High School.  I loved some peaches for sure....  Most people don't even begin to know how many varieties there are or the process it takes to get that sweet fuzzy dessert in your basket at home.

Most things in life of worth require a lot more people and effort involved in the result of a sweet reward.

Open your eyes.  Don't think it is going to be easy.  But, know, that sweet reward is worth all involved and your effort.

I had a client tell me today....  "We have peaches coming out of our asses".  Heck yeah..  I'll take a peach, but that "pit" in the middle will not pass through there.  There is a core to the middle that can be a part of the result of what you taste at the end, but you don't have to eat the pit at that point.

Enjoy the fruit.  Discard the pit.  It was merely a rough part of producing what you savor and digest.

What are you eating?

 You've read many posts from me based on this reality.  Truth be told, I have spent the last few years in a place of not really caring.  What happened was not weight gain, but health loss.  I would rather weigh more and feel healthy vs looking at the scale and judging the number staring back.  

Your brain and physical function comes down to the simple truth........  What you put in, you get out.  

How are you "feeling"?  How are you "thinking"?  How important is the future longevity of your life?

There are people that eat terribly that live decently long lives, BUT, what is the quality of the life they are living?  There are also people that don't get metabolism or a well-balanced diet that are "skinny".  Some people may ask.  "How do you stay so thin?".  The actual question should be...  "How do you feel".  "How is your health?"

Let us eat with purpose and function of what makes us our best selves.  Its time to get healthy and perform with a purpose of living, and living well.

Love you all
