At the insistence of survival the body demands existence. Not simply trite mediocrity but healthy and rewarding life. A life filled with health, with joy, with rest and sobriety, without ills and sorrow. But do we listen? Do we hear the message? And if we do how do we respond? Observation shows that most ignore the message... a subtle suicide of sorts that allows mind to live as it chooses, as it has for years so done. We live our lives in a solitudinal desperation attempting to control our fate... our future. We insist on the delusion that our minds can live the lives of it's own choice without any repercussions. But it sometimes takes years for the body to reject the insistence of mind. And even then, we so often times have become so enamored by our selves that we will not change our lives even though it could mean our very death.
We spend at least half our lives building our lives, our dreams, our futures at the expense of our bodies and spirit. We must become. We must do. We must assume an aura. But how many do exactly this and become simply a mind. Do mind. Do our aura. And ignore the physical... our body. It does come around. If we don't die young we run aground on the shores of age, scrambling from the high tides of illness to avert the dis-ease of ignoring our physicality.
We all become our own addictions. Our addictions become who we've become. We are known by our addictions and we know others by their addictions. Our addictions may inspire our lives or conversely, hinder our potential. It's only when we recognize our personal addictions that we can then qualify them - do they hinder or do they assist our lives..? Some addictions can assist but eventually hinder. We must be vigilant with our lives lest we cut short our potential.
Giving up our addictions can leave us feeling lost... a stranger to ourselves. After all those years we are now no longer what we had become. Our addiction ran its course and to continue down the same road we can only see as destructive. But with this loss, who are we now? We may fear this loss and return to our negatively addictive behavior. Many indeed do. It's like losing an arm or a leg, perhaps an eye. This addiction had become such a strong part of us that to no longer feel attached can evince a feeling of loneliness that may cause one to return to the addiction, so great the loss feels.
Inspiration. To be inspired gives us the promise to continue. Some place new. Something new. Indeed, inspiration is newness and new refreshes the body, the mind and spirit. Stay new. Stay inspired. Inspire others to be new until it, too, becomes old. Then renew... it's all we can do - inspirionimagio.
