I keep looking in the mirror hoping my eyes are deceiving me.
Through these days of growth and change, that I’ve been trying to bring forth, the image I see in the mirror isn’t the reflection I want to be reality.
A bicycle tire is forming in the area that troubles most out of shape men. I shouldn’t be overly concerned, but I am. I cannot help but to remember years ago when I was more fit and ate a whole lot more. But I’m no longer that young man. I’m now reaching an age when everything I eat can count against me. Changing the physical me is a lot harder than some may think. I keep an active lifestyle so this shouldn’t be a big deal. However, I do like food. And when you like food you eat what you like. I just have to watch how much of it I actually eat.
The real deal is my mental state though. That is what should be of the biggest concern. I tell people all the time to focus on the important things, and not to sweat the small stuff. What I’ve found is that although you shouldn’t sweat the small stuff you should pay some attention to it, before it gets out of hand.
That is where I am today. And those are the elements of my life I have to work on. That and the procrastination.
Did you know that procrastination is the cousin of lazy? Kinda like, sleep is the cousin of death.

Looking in a mirror, any mirror, is suppose to give you a true reflection of yourself. But I cannot help but think that the way I see me in the mirror and how people see me are completely different.
For one, I consider myself to be in not so great shape. Other people don’t see that. They think I’m in great shape. I have to tell them I hold my stomach in. They thought I was joking. It actually helps me fit into suits better.
Fashion aside, people will see what they want about you regardless to how you present yourself. They’ll make their minds up based on their own issues and past experience. I know better than to allow my mind to work that way. I have to keep an open mind and allow people to present themselves as they are. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t sit around and start believing everything you show or tell me.
I’m keeping my mind open to the possibility that people are who they present themselves to be.

The hardest part about life is living it. The easiest part, is of course, death.
We wake up in the morning for a purpose. Some of us don’t know or aren’t quite sure what the purpose is and others are more fortunate to know and are able to execute that purpose into actionable movements.
I woke up this morning feeling a sense of purpose and the urgency to accomplish many goals. I’ve been able to follow through on certain tasks. As for the others, they will have to wait their turn.
Living life is a greater reward than death. So much joy can come out of it. You just have to be willing to put in the work and appreciate what you have. I do appreciate every day that is granted to me. I can only hope that tomorrow is as good as the day I’m currently living, if not better.
I hope you’re doing the same.
