Found this quote for one of my weight loss clients today and the more I look at it the more depth it has. So for today just take some time and think about your journey this year with this quote in mind.
“Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be…Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you’ll live as you’ve never lived before.” ~ Erich Fromm

It is funny to me the way life is served up. This last week at church there was a great study that talks about how the world influences what we believe. Christian or not you have to see the truth in that. One of my favorite books tells me that I can be in the world without being of the world. Otherwise I can live with all the hype, good/bad news, and various other things we get blasted with these days, without being all about those influences.
Adding this quote reminds me that my vision of the world changes, just like my vision of what life would be like from a year ago has changed. In my weight loss journey this last year I have come from feeling like I was dying (and not so slowly) to living like I haven’t in years. This changed my mentality from the probability of never getting better to how much better can I get. Some call it possibility thinking, I would call it much more.
So close your eyes, imagine with me for just a moment, what would life be like with your spirit soaring and living like you have never lived before? What will it take to get that back? Are you willing to make the journey?
