Ive never had a more mind soothing workout. Lifting today wasnt like any other day. For the 6 hours of on and off Olympic lifts, my mind was at complete peace. I cannot remember the last time Ive felt this way. Untouched and unaffected by my surroundings, as if I was the only being on earth. At the start of my day, my mind was completely riddled, filled with uncertainty. I was lost and clueless as what to do next. The first thought that came to me was: This is NOT who I am! I am not a man who gets lost in his emotions. I am better than my emotions, Ive learned to control them, to keep them at bay and to not be dictated by them. Least of all surrender to them. I told myself that nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Many are the things I thought to be impossible.. falling for a woman who lives a world away from me or, Oly lifting for 6 hours. Yet, it couldnt have been easier or more soothing. Dream the impossible and the weight of the world will not grind you under, it will lift you to heights youve never imagined possible. To me, this is how magic is done, this is the shamanic dance under the waterfall, this is how you touch the alchemic gold, you dream... dream the impossible. You need to have the courage to hurl yourself into the abyss. Only then can you realize it is nothing but a feather bed. My logic is that movement is life. Exercise, dance, and meditation does not only enliven the body, it energizes and mobilizes the spirit and sharpens the mind. It is what allows me to dream. Live and embrace life. Embrace its ups and downs and keep moving. Movement preserves life. Thats the big secret. I havent opened up in quite a while. I missed this! Done. :)
