Time to Start Fresh

Too many of us are happy living a mediocre life. I am guilty of the offense. For 28 years I was happy just getting by, and not challenging myself. From the work I did, the goals I set, the relationships I was in, and even the food I ate. It was ALL mediocre at best. The last 6 months have been spent de-brainwashing and flushing that social cancer from my mind, body, and soul. It's time to move on to better things remembering that You and I were made with GREAT PURPOSE not a mediocre one. -LR

Empty your Mind, & Start Again

During my time of reflection I've noticed a pattern, & while reading "Fathered by God" it became quite apparent. I, Luis, have settled for mediocrity for the majority of my life. I let fear control my outcomes, excuses deter my success, & a poor man's mindset suck the life out of me. Today, I begin my warrior phase. Today, I begin to live up to the meaning of my name. People's expectations matter not, but what God sees & views me as is the only determinant.

Water & You

This documentary is just one of many demonstrations that what you think about you bring about. Your intentions, your speech, the people you hang around with, your spiritual life all cause changes. Remember you are 85% water, so watch this and start to THINK for yourself the answer is all around you and in you.  

You've been walking in circles, searching. Don't drink by the water's edge. Throw yourself in. Become the water. Only then will your thirst end.
-Jeanette Berson

Why run around sprinkling holy water?
There's an ocean inside you, and when you're ready you'll drink.
-Kabir

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend." ~ Bruce Lee.

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.- John 4:10

Go Beyond what YOU can SEE

Sometimes God calms the storm. At other times, he calms the sailor. And sometimes he makes us swim. ~Author Unknown

It is month 5 week 2 of the transformation I started that dark first week of April. Never would I have thought that I would have changed so much in such a short amount of time, but God made us to go beyond what we can see. I have become more of a believer of what the mind focuses on it can make happen. Look at the examples in history: the Model T, The First Plane, The First Boats, Electricity, The Light Bulb were all ideas in a persons mind. They could see it, but they had to WORK to bring them into existence. Edison stated "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration" and "If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward."

This is a simple message to all those who are out there feeling lost and don't know where to look or go. Its time to look WITHIN and stop looking at others. You were made to be unique and with that uniqueness came the ability to bring amazing character, attributes, and blessings to the world around you. Just remember that the finest diamond has to be made under pressure. You will encounter people telling you there is only one way to do it, that things are impossible, that you don't have the ability to reach your goals, but who are they? Did they make you? Did they create you in your mothers womb allowing you to become formed into the capable human you are? Did you give up on your dreams because it was too hard, or you just never figured how to push yourself? Are you scared about not having a safety net? Go beyond what you can see. 

5 months ago God gave me the option. Sink or swim. It is your choice. I decided to swim... I didn't know where, I didn't really know how, and I didn't know for how long, but I kept on. I kept pushing and pushing every day. Modifying what I took in mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally. Soon enough I started to notice changes from the inside out. I went from being a size 38 in pants to being a size 32.5 in pants. I went from being 200lbs+ to now a pretty trim 184.8, (I was at 176 at one point, but we will discuss why that was not healthy in a later blog), My nerves and brain started to heal and balance, my scoliosis went away almost completely, my hormones balanced, and now here I am writing this to you. I pretty much pushed and believed it like I was there, but faked it until I made it. If it were not for friends I had made on Twitter it would not have been possible, and you know who you are so thank you. Most of all my heart is healed, and I can see and love myself for who I am. I'm far from perfect, but there is only one me... and I am gonna love me as much as I can.

In reality our lives go beyond, solids, liquids, or gases. Our lives are vibrating energy that can be manipulated at any time. Negative energy and focus will yield negative results, and positive mind and focus will yield positive results. The thoughts you think, the people you keep, and the food that you eat ALL determine your ability to be at your best or worst. In the next blog I will explain to you more about diet, exercise, mindset, and what you can do to overcome what over 33% of Americans (The World) are struggling with things like obesity, depression, and frankly being unhappy. Until then stay well my friends. 

In Love, Loyalty, and Longevity,
