My Magic Kettlebell

Ok, so I think I have pretty much established that I'm a bit childish, haha! My mind seems to still be wired the way I used to think when I was 10.  Case in point, I was surfing through the internet (forgot the site) that had different topics and categories on it, but I felt my eyes gravitate towards the kids category, I know it's strangely weird but I felt like a kid at that particular time. I also still believe in magic, although I've pretty much dismissed the possibility of a magic lamp tucked away somewhere.
Anyway, recently I've had tons of realizations, it's like a curtain has been lifted and I could somehow see clearly what life really is all about.  I also realized that our bodies are our vessels in which we are to navigate this world and do everything we want to do.  I checked out my vessel, and my vessel has been pretty much neglected and out of shape recently so I thought I should do something about it.  I still am not thinking of going back to the gym, I don't know maybe not now.  But I do have a kettlebell lying around the house and I thought I should start with that.  Everyday I tell myself to workout using it but my weaker (read: tamad self) wanted to just do away with it.  However, the getting stronger side of my mind says I should do it.  So, I thought of a clever way to trick and reprogram my mind into doing it.

My kettlebell is now magical.

And it only works and grants all my wishes if I use it religiously.

There.  Yeah childish.  But that's me.

Hello strength and determination in the coming weeks.

I, thank you. ;p

New Chapter

I've written in a previous post how our present circumstance never really goes away until our soul learns the lessons it needs to learn.  I felt that I've learned the lessons that I needed to learn from all the heartaches, the regrets, the anger, the fear, the not knowing, the anxiety, and the uncertainty of almost a decade that has gone by in my life.  I am ready to transcend into a new chapter armed with the life lessons to help not only myself to rebuild my own life but also to be an instrument into making a difference in others' as well.

I am ready for this.  I am claiming it.  I am finally moving forward.

I am at a point in my life where I'm tired of exploring.  I want stability.  I want to savor life and what it really means.  I want to have in my life what really matters, not what the world thinks matters at the moment.

I've tried on different shoes, in search of what fits me, what fits in the society, what fits other people who don't really care.  But the shoes that fits you most is the shoes that belongs to you, not someone else's, not your own manufactured idea of what should fit you.  I have found my shoes, and I want to walk my life with my own shoes.  Leaving footprints I can truly say are my own.

I am optimistic, excited to finally live my life. :)
