I have found my current exercise journey to be just like you are talking about. I go to the gym, I feel great, I even start to see changes and BAM, there’s some reason not to go to the gym, I’m too tired etc… I know there is a physically strong healthy me waiting to come into the world and that I need to stay focused on the goal and not let the distractions move me away from what my true self wants. Thanks again for another great post that is relevant to today!

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for coming to visit our Divine Self! blog.

The path of being true to our Divine Self is the most difficult and yet the most rewarding path we could possibly take.

I, too, absolutely LOVE that saying about “Best not to begin. Once begun best to finish.” It’s such a simple but profound message. It reminds me not only to continue forward through my journey even when the going gets rough. The journey or adventure was important to me when I started, and it’s still important even though it might be more difficult than anticipated.

Thanks again for your comment and I know that people will love your inspirational life improvement perspectives that you offer on http://www.ratracetrap.com

Dear beautiful Lucia,

I understand that changing your life is scary and uncomfortable. Change requires us to move from our smaller, confined circle of comfort to one that is larger and more expansive. Like Columbus sailing off to explore the edge of the ocean, you too are exploring unknown new territory. The risk is that you might fall off the edge of the world. Choose actions that allow you to safely feel the stretch of growth. Ask yourself each week, “What risk have I taken?” “What success have I experienced?” Make it okay to be a beginner again. It’s how you grow and transform. You will continue to inspire others and find strengths you never knew you had.

I believe in you!

Hi Kathleen,
Life is this amazing adventure of experience. It’s those times when we explore, and feel, and venture out into new experiences that we are most alive. And yet, it’s often so easy to get caught up in the little stuff, thinking that things which don’t really matter do. Here’s to the adventure of life, including the ups and the downs. What a ride!!

Annette, I love this:

“By allowing ourselves the self-respect to move through our feelings, we can honor who we were and where we were. Then owe it to ourselves to choose a path that feels most true for who we are now. ”

How very true.

I tweeted your “best not to begin…” saying. I loved it. Great article. Thanks!

What a beautiful post. I feel like you speak to me directly. I am the same situation in my life, except I am trying to change my whole life. It is scary and uncomfortable but I know I got to do it. Thank you so much for your beautiful light.

Wow! I can sure relate to your “changes”. I just came back from a walk through the nature park……lots of changes here——new paths to follow. Me, being me, had to explore.

Tomorrow, I will take a different route and see what changes I can find.

Love your idea of walking up a mountain alone, getting naked and breathing in Nature! Skinny dipping can be fun , as well. Have you ever tried this?
