Every year, (for the past 10 years) it's the same challenge and ultimately the same struggle.
Not this year.
Something's changed.
Something's different.
It's more than just not being able to keep up with my 2 year old.
It's more than realizing I'm going to be a father again.
It's more than just being in the worst shape of my life. (read more than just physically..)
It's more that I've been stuck in my head and not listening to my body.
It's more that I still believe I can think myself into a new way of living.
(Look where that has gotten me.)
It's more than seeing how it affects every aspect of my life.
A recent quote by Neale Donald Walsch got me thinking about how I have to approach this:
Yearning for a new way will not produce it.
Only ending the old way can do that.
You cannot hold onto the old all the while declaring that you want something new.
The old will defy the new. the old will deny the new; the old will decry the new.
There is only one way to bring in the new.
You must make room for it.
It's more than just yearning for it.
It's more that I've not made room for it.
I am making room for the new me.
