Two Nuts or Too Nuts

"We have to make mistakes

to find out who we aren't. 

You take the action, 

and the insight 

follows. 

You don't think your way 

into becoming 

yourself."

- Anne Lamott in

Where do I Start 

from Nov 2009 issue

of Oprah Magazine

I need to spend more time visioning into what I will become,

actually imagining myself well and walking,

slim and stunning,

capable and strong.

My head keeps stopping me.

  But I'm in control of my head.

I keep stopping me.

  But I'm the one who wants to be well and strong.

We must have a dual nature made up of warring selves.

  But that's ridiculous. How can we be split against ourselves?

Maybe it's the devil trying to convince me to stay small, in pain and weak.

  But there is no devil there is only God.

Then why am I in such pain?

  To teach you to overcome pain so you can help others overcome pain.

Who am I talking to right now?

  My self.

I must be nuts.

  You're at least two.

sigh

This down time is not forever.

This pain will pass.

I just need to see myself well in my mind's eye

and if I can't see it perfectly then I'll just have faith.

I don't have to do it perfectly as long as I do it.

There's something right about getting it wrong

over and over again.

*Lisa's Video Pick of the Day*

I won't let my pain keep me from sharing what I have.

The devil of defeat will not win.

I love when Joel Osteen cries.
He's so human...vulnerable.

I can relate to that.
