My life is my best teacher!

Today I was watching Oprah on tv and coincidentally she was talking about loosing weight and she said people who are over weight are usually hungry for something in their life. Rarely people gain weight because they are hungry for food! She talked about herself and her weight battle... she said she realized her hunger for love was fulfilled with food!

That got me thinking... what am i hungry for and what have i been fueling with food? What am i craving for... This brought me back to a training I recently attended. During a process, I realized that since young I always had a feeling of emptiness inside... somehow this unknowingly has effected huge part of my life. Now, i realized i have been feeding this loneliness with food! This body of mine has suffered so much because of this... I am so grateful at this size and weight I am able to do so much!

Guess my recent desire to loose weight also came from the fact that i realized what was holding me back at the training. The moment I recognized that part of me and accepted that, my desire to take care of myself and to loose all the extra weight came almost effortlessly!

I was talking to my best friend about my new discovery and my friend sent me this message and it is really beautiful... After so long, this weekend I was alone at home and I really enjoyed every bit of it. I got so much work done and I actually woke up early to start my day! I can't remember when was the last time i had a meaningful weekend like this!

Message from my best friend...

When you have found yourself, being alone is a privilege, not a punishment.
All the good work that you do comes when you are alone.
All your dreams are dreamed alone.
Your best dreams are dreamed alone.
Your best ideas are conceived in solitude.
Your dream of a better world and the contribution you will make to it will also come when you are alone.
Your creation and inventions, your solutions to problems that most vex you, all come to you in isolation.
It is only when you are by yourself that you can be receptive to the stillness of your inner voice.
This is the voice that tells you what you need to know, the inner directive, the heart of your soul given word.
This solitude is the place from which your originality and specialness issue.
In your aloneness you hear music and see art most clearly. Only when you are alone can you receive the gifts the world presents.
In your aloneness you are in touch with the energy that runs the world.
It is the place where God speaks to you and where you become God.
The things you take from this place fortify your spirit with grace, forgive your ineptness, and fill you with new resolve.
Learn to love being with yourself. It is the highest place to which you can aspire!

To my best friend, thank you for always being there for me and always reminding me that my life is my best teacher!


Live Your Best Life
