I was so focused on myself, my future, my finances, my happiness... The social environment teaches you what is important and it is completely distorted. Listen to that instinctive basic belief system that is in all of us. Grab a hold of it...it gives you strength. There are so many things in the world that started with the best of intentions but have advanced into something completely different. It is all the distractions and noise that you have to look past. Everyone has forgotten that we are all human...we all were born...and we all will die. We all share common experiences...and we should always feel the pain and joy of others. The problem is the duality....me against you, them against us...and so on and so on... See the complicated big mess. You need to go back to you human nature...it restores balance. Nature is all about balance. We have great strides in technology, don't get me wrong...it amazes me the brilliant minds that can develop these gizmos and medications and..... But if you think that things and titles and jobs will feel your soul..you are sadly mistaken. I may give you a temporary fix...but at the heart of it your body and mind will cause you pain...because it is trying to tell you something is wrong... Listen to that basic truth that everyone has the ability to understand.... Good luck! I wish everyone joy and happiness.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
