Fear and Faith.
These are two very powerful emotions one positive and one negative. What can I say faith is believing in something so much that you go for it saying to yourself “I will do it or die?” no matter what you are going achieve that goal. Faith is often the start of many dreams which became reality, it starts with a small spec yet grows bigger and bigger until it is consuming your own life. Having seen such happen in my own personal life well it is strange, having the faith to know you are making that right decision whether the outcome is good or bad. There are many ways that faith works and it is about exposure and what you choose to let into your own mind.
Influences come in many forms the TV, Culture and more. How much a person is exposed to something quite often means how the person’s life may turn out, if a person is brought up around crime it is often that the person will be compelled to commit crime themselves. If a person is brought up in love, they will often know how to love another person well, should they not see that love or it dwindle then it left imagination or culture to program the person how to respond to such. Some people have a dream of what love is, even though they are brought up with love being very little they keep that view why because they have faith in such. Deep down they know it is who they are, the story of my life having had numerous people say no to me owing to how I view romance I shut down yet one person managed to help me draw that out again and I am glad I met them.
Now onto fear, this is again a very powerful emotion it is what stops people from acting. They remain stuck because they fear the outcome it is certainly such for me, having been brought up and conditioned to feel fear. It is what happens for me I am glad again to have met someone that has been helping me gradually work through such although they may not know that it is being done. For me I have lived a lot of my life in fear owing to many reasons a lot of hurt, anger and more. Yet these days I work on not letting those emotions get to me sure, they may eventually get to me quickly. I understand now that my motivation for me to get my weight under control was fear of ill health, lack of health, what was I going to do.
Anyway, years later I sit here having the best health possible with my weight under control, how well through belief. Through faith, the power of faith is a very strong thing when applied correctly, as I said I lived in fear of ill health and well I had let my health go badly. It is now working on maintaining it knowing what I could become should I not maintain that health. For me seeing myself in better health then I have known for years and now being able to say, I am happy with what I have achieved.
A tip for those who are looking to get their health back it is best to be motivated by some factor, yet that motivation often needs support and encouragement. Someone there who is willing to support you to achieve your goal in improving your health; without such it can be exceptionally hard to keep up the regime, I ended up with very supportive people who were encouraging me to get my health under control. Having been ill for so long it was not easy, today I am who I am thanks to their support and faith.
For me a great example of faith recently came my way, in the hours after a family death I realised what I was really looking for in my life. What I really wanted, for me I am prepared to walk that road. I have avoided the road for a while. Yet having that death in the family it’s made that burning desire stronger to be a father, it’s made me realise that yes that is who I am as a person. I am someone who is a family guy, who loves being around his family. I may not have had the best upbringing yet I can certainly give my own kids a better life, a better upbringing. Where anything is possible, not the environment where a person eventually ends up in fear; that is no way to live I know that from personal experience. I am coming out of a winter a very long winter yet spring is finally on the horizon and it is nice to finally have such. There may be more winters yet I know they may not be as long. It is good to finally be able to start putting my life back together again.
