03-29-2011 The peripheral view.

So why do we want change? There are many things that people change, and for many, for no reason. Hmm, just think how powerful our mind is. We visualize something can be different and without a second thought to the commitment of sacrifice of unfathomable depth one will go to fulfill their desire. From finances to marriages changes are made. The industry of manufacturing has to retool at least once or more every year in order to keep up with this appetite of change that swirls around us as a dream that is never completed. Human nature lusts for something to stimulate this unconscious need for change. Change that is never complete. Change for the perfect Utopian experience of completeness. Phrases like, "If only I could" and "I need to grow", are just a few of the many that we hear and accept as the norm. Accumulation of disposable goods is a disease that cripples the sanity of a clear mind. We cloud our ability for the peripheral view with the desire for change. There is a concentrated focus on what we don't have, and a frenzied rush of whatever source we can find in the immediate to achieve it. Maybe this is what I sense as a detoxing of a greater deterrent. The issue we want to have most clear in our minds is not that of weight loss, but of fat loss. Then paralleling it, the mindset of muscle gain. We want to build a calorie burning furnace, and at the same time we are replacing the space where loose skin would appear, with muscle tissue. Many fear that they will appear as some Super Hero that appears on the cover of a comic book. To achieve that one would need a good dose of steroids and a whole lot of natural genetics that are there already. For the majority a steady and consistent plan will be key in beginning a new life change. There is no new ingenious short cut to obtain good health and nutrition. One just simply steps to the side of the normal path they have been traveling, and gets on the already established path that has existed since the beginning of life its self. While walking the path that we have for so long, we have  had some peripheral view of what exists on this new path. Just maybe it was clouded by all the not so good information that exists regarding how we can enjoy and be part of it. Remember what ever we want that is natural and healthy, it probably won't bankrupt us. A small investment of time and a few essentials and we are already headed on a path of change. Lets open our peripheral view to discover the potential that is waiting for each and every one of us. The only look back we want to allow ourselves is the one where we decided that from this minute on we had committed to make change, a change for ever.
