In the past when I have attempted serial posting, I think it has been little overwhelming, especially when I was going over the marketing of supplements and how supplement companies lie to us.
However, today I feel compel to at least buffer my CMS commentary from Saturday. There was some great comments left on that subject.
The overriding theme I took from what I wrote, and sometimes I don't know that until I am done, is that as we try to defeat CMS we are constantly beset by people who want to break us down. That don't want to see us succeed. That don't want us to break away from the social norm that we have been stuck in and accomplish something that is bigger than ourselves. When I was reading this morning I came across this verse in Jeremiah,
What I am trying to bolster in myself is a shield against negativity. Sometimes I have been accused of not living in reality, that I am going forward with my eyes closed. I say sometimes you have to lift your eyes off the ground, or close them against the foreboding circumstances and doubts of others before you. With my eyes fixed on present circumstances, like weak swimming or peer pressure, I will miss my vision of completing Ironman.
I dream big because dreams keep me younger, healthier and more alive than anything else.

But they will not have power over you, for I am with you to take you out of trouble," says the Lord."For those that would rather see this in a New Age Spirituality aspect, you can go HERE.

Keep dreaming,it's another thing people try to bring you down from.
Thats for the motivation, I needed it!
Sometimes closing your eyes to what is around you is the best way to see whats inside of you. Thanks for the reminder.
I think that your positivity is refreshing. I know what you mean about some folks mistaking positivity for naivity (sp), but I don't care what people think. If I want to keep myself sane by not focusing on negative and things I can't change than that's what I'm going to do...and everyone else should too!
Way to go Commodore:)
