You Always Have a Choice

May I always dance
Upon the edge of
Possibilities,
And know-
That I always have
A choice.



Rich Roll - Vegan athlete.
For Rich it began with a single choice when he turned 40 - go vegan. His life spiraled to new, exciting directions from that one choice. He decided.
Virtually everyday I am asked about diet, running, working out, writing, meditating - all things that I love to do and each one has enriched my life immeasurealbly. I am dedicated to fulfilling a promise that I made to myself in regard to this list. I practice, I train and I refine - making countless mistakes and learning and moving forward in health, happiness and sence of peace (all a work in progress.) What strikes me as interesting is that every conversation on virtually all of these topics end with the person wishing they could make some sort of positive change - but listing the reasons why they simply can't change - within the same breath. We all have our reasons.
What's yours?
Better yet -
Forget them.
Decide otherwise.
It really is that simple.
Not that there won't be hard work, sacrifice, and maybe even some pain involved. There will be.
Seriously, that' part of the fun.
Becauase it means we have pushed beyond our self imposed limitations.



Like Sarah, we were all meant to do something extraordinary.
And like Sarah - we will all have to work for it.
It starts with a single choice.
Einstein stated that nothing changes until something moves.
And by making a choice towards health, towards well being and happiness and fulfillment of our dreams and desires - we are moving.
And the whole of the Universe moves with us.



Peace,
Eric
