Ultraman And The Instant of Becoming

Today I picked up ultra endurance athlete Rich Roll's new book - Finding Ultra. Rich, a recovering alcholic, found himself on the eve of his 40th birthday, overweight, unhealthy and fearing he would never live long enough to witness his infant daughters future wedding. He was probably right. Yet in a remarkable moment of insight and clarity he choose a new life - he became an Ultraman - not just Ironman triathalons but mega races lasting days and hundreds of miles. And all this on a plant based diet (read - vegan) That's pretty inspiring. But that's not the message - one man making a life altering change is indeed amazing. But it's only one man. Here is what is truly amazing - we can all make that choice - right here and right now. In a single instant we can become the fulfillment of all potential. A single step, a change in eating habits, a new endeavor - and we are in the act of becoming. In that instant we are changed, reborn into the greatness of all our best wishes. And it only took a moment. What are you waiting for?

Peace,
Eric
