Born into greatness

I was just watching James Ray's movie... Parallel Universes.
Boy was it good... I've placed a link to the right, but be forewarned.. it's a commercial for the seminars at the end. I'd like to go but I haven't been yet so I can't give an opinion. Still a lot of good info in the movie and well worth the $9.97.

My favorite quote from the movie is: We are born into greatness, and are conditioned into mediocrity.

Everything in our lives is a reflection of how we feel bout ourselves. Ouch.. that's harsh.. but true. The things that drive you the most crazy, are the things that you have not come to terms with within yourself. Your relationship to yourself is truly the only relationship that matters.

Once we begin to express our true selves, the universe conspires on our behalf.

This is in short, my grand experiment. Even before watching the movie.. it was what I am doing.
It's exciting to watch things unfold. I'm trying to look at things kind of detached so that I can see them objectively. You know, the little things that happen in our lives that cause emotional reactions.

But what I have found out so far is this. Each day, I make time for myself. The rest gets fit in between. (The rest being all of the "have to's".)

I wake up, and spend an hour meditating.
I have my coffee and a piece of fruit while checking my e-mail and posting to my blogs or doing other computer work.
I exercise.
I have lunch.
More "have to's".
Sometimes a walk.
I'm usually in bed by 11pm.
Things I'm trying to squeeze in: learning an instrument (guitar/piano), spending time with family, getting out of the house, writing, less TV.

So far as I can tell.. I've lost about 20 pounds in the last three weeks.
Consistency is the key. Keep working out. Keep eating fruits and veggies.

And don't beat yourself up if you slip.. just get right back into the groove.
The universe is conspiring on your behalf remember... Woo Hoo!
