Ok my life has been up and down throughout my life, I realized that I went through a lot ,especially because of the environment and family I was brought up and raised in.... A lot of hardships, earlier in my life I had self esteem issues, health issues, basically I couldn't just find my balance or even know where I was headed to... Now this was scary, I was depressed, I was lonely, I was in the same rhythm everyday... it was so ****ed up... kind of like obsessive compulsive disease ( which I use 2 have when i was a little kid) I wasn't able to relate to my friends and family, it was isolation and depression to the max. It was as if I was hoping for a miracle. a glimpse of light. I even thought about suicide. But I couldn't muster the courage to do it, a hope for something brighter and something better kept me going! Now here I am stronger than ever, doing what I love, being the best that I CAN BE! Because I know that I will only get one chance and I can imagine myself telling my grandkids when I am older that I lived my life the way I wanted it..... It was a life full of adventure, joy and excitement... What caused this 180 degree turn was one day of enlightment. I realized that I controlled this body, the way I walked, how I picked up things... basically everything! It was as if this body was a machine designed for me... Before realizing this instead of controlling my body my body was controlling me. But what really hit me just like that and enlightened me for the rest of my life was the fact that I was in " CONTROL " all the time!!! 100% of the time 1000% of the TIME! You CONTROL YOU, you this body of yours, everything you do YOU CONTROL IT! What that means is that you can control yourself.... self-control! You tell this body what to do , what to think what things to experience and say! Think about that for a moment. You know that you control yourself and everything you do... External things dont control you. IF YOU CONTROL YOURSELF YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANTED! ill leave it at that...
