When people tell me they lost connection with spirituality or some might say god I am truly heart broken. Now when I write this I don't want to use the word god. I feel the word god has been trade marked by Christianity and that might push people away. I am talking about spirituality as a whole. Every religion, every person on this world. The TAO (together as one). So instead of the word god I will use the world universe.
Its funny how the universe works. It works in mysterious ways and I am beginning to love every minute of it. Last night I had so many plans. So many things to do. So many people to see. I think I even upset a few people for flaking on them. Last night I really had a chance to reconnect with old friends. Something I had not done in such a long time. Last night I planned on stopping by my buddies party, having a few drinks and moving on to the next. But after sitting with them, talking laughing, i realized that there was no where I would have rather been in the world then there with good people, good friends, good company. I wish I could spend every weekend with those guys but they will soon be back in San Diego and I would be lucky to see them when I can.
Now thats not anything out of the ordinary, strange or life changing. But it was what happened the morning after. After getting home normally I would just fall asleep with the TV on but last night was different. I didnt feel like falling asleep with normal television programming I turned on my PS3, put on Netflix and fell asleep. I woke up in the morning and realized whatever movie I put it on was over and half asleep I flipped to I dont even know what. I woke up around 8am and noticed the show was over. Not being able to fall back asleep I decided to jut restart the program and watch whatever was previously on.
Now I am gonna side track for a moment. Around six months ago I decided I needed a life change. I was overweight. I took charge, started eating right and exercised regularly. I lost over 40lbs. It was a big change. I felt good about myself and things were great. The greatest part of losing that weight was when people told me I inspired them to practice a more healthier life style. Well I never quite hit my weight loss goal and got side tracked from the hardcore dieting and workout phase I was in and was looking for a little inspiration.
Now back to the movie. The movie was called "Fat, sick and nearly dead". It started off with an over weight Australian man who was around 300 lbs with some weird skin disease that he was heavily medicated for. His plan was that he would fast on a liquid diet for 60 days. He consumed only an all natural fresh veggie/fruit juice that he fresh juiced with a juicer every day. The movie started off ok. The guy lost a lot of weight he stopped taking his medication. On his journey he ran into a tucker who was over 400lbs with the same skin condition as him. The Australian man offered the trucker help but the trucker refused and the movie went on. So what I thought was the end movie the trucker calls the Australian man asking for help. Wanting to change his life. He was tired of being overweight and decided its time to change.
This trucker was so depressed being overweight. If effected his life in such a negative way and his journey to his weight loss touched me in a very deep way. I related to this man so much. I grew up as the big guy and it wasnt fun. It was hard, depressing and not very fun at all. Its hard to explain how I felt in words and its hard to admit but at the end of the movie I admit I shed a tear. It's funny how I needed a little inspiration in my life and randomly this movie came on. The universe works in mysterious ways and I love it. I feel like someone up there is watching out for me and has their hand involved in my life, in a good way.
Today I started my diet and moving on to a healthier lifestyle. Im setting new goals and am ready for new challenges...wish me luck!
