Past but not forgotten

Yesterday was a day that we can learn from but never change. It is in the past and therefore history. Some people close to me said that this blog is informative to them but they can tell that there is alot of internal conflict in my writing. My explaination is he who doesn't have conflict doesnt find resolution.

What compels someone to be strict with their nutrition or lose weight or be a better person. I know i try and tie most of these to nutrition but all these things can be applied to everyday life. Sometimes life isnt pretty, like my grammer, lol. But it is those moments of dissatisfaction that lead to the beauty that life can be.

I accept that there are always going to be tough times. Family can be difficult. Friends can do something to set you off. People in general can cause conflict. We can cause our own. For example, with my nutrition yesterday, i did not plan out how long one thing i had on my schedule would take so I was left without food or any way to get food for close to 6 hours. This is very unlike me but I can assure you I have learned from it and will plan better for the next time I am in a situation such as that.

This is where that path way is. The illuminating of a start but if you dont bring your machette to hack your own path with the knowledge placed before you and that was their prior, you will be left to follow someone elses path that doesnt embody who you truly are as a person.

My path is different than others in my same blood line. I have taken risks that i have been lucky enough to be bailed out from. I have moved 3000 miles away from family and I have survived to move back closer. I have moved and stayed places for the wrong reasons yet, I have found myself in the middle of a great path because the tools aquired along the way have been bent and molded to fit my journey.

The best thing you can have for the past is great short term memory. If you miss a meal, move on and know that you wont let yourself down again in that mannor. If someone wears you down time and time again, know that you have it in yourself to move forward with that knowledge. You can forgive that person or cut them, screaming from your life. But the decision to not miss a meal, to snowball a cheat meal into a cheat day, to let venomous people go from you life is in your hands. You can choose to control you.

I know that today is not yeterday and I will make today as exceptional as it can be. I will eat accourding to the plan that works for me. I will workout with intensity that belies my eating. I will apply myself to accentuate everything that I am good at and learn to bring the rest of me up to speed. The beautiful thing is while we cant change what has happened in the past, we dont forget what our lessons are and we move forward with the knowledge that we dont have to be subjected to that lesson again because we have learned, evolved to be better. We can learn from the past but we dont have to live in it. Make today excellent. BE THE BEST YOU
