Imaginary "Friend"

So you know when you were a little kid and you had that kookie imaginary friend?  This friend seemed nice and playful and always complimentary as a child, but as you grew older it became that most annoying ache on your backside.  I say "friend" quote on quote, because it is no friend at all, it is the "friend" that whispers in your ear "Just one bite won't hurt anything", or the "friend" that reminds you the sun isn't up yet so you shouldn't be going to the gym when you could be getting your much needed beauty sleep.  It is the constant reminder that they always make jeans in a larger size and they cost the same as if you were to buy the size you were really suppose to be in (I mean come on thats cost effective, more fabric for your buck!)

I am reminding all of you of this "friend" because it resides with each one of us every day, in every descision that we make, the "friend" never leaves our side.  This is not the good kind of "friend" that you want however, it is the self-savatoshing one that will chip away at your insecurties and failors day after day and though this "friend" may seem to make you feel better at the time he will only make you feel worse in the long run.

I said all that to say this, WE MUST FIGHT!  You can not let this "friend" win!  You must be the overcomer here, otherwise you will spend the rest of your life taking the worst advice you could have ever gotten and you don't even realize it until your 50 years old sitting on the couch shoving your face full of bon bons and watching re-runs of The Facts of Life.  Oh it may sound exciting, but trust me it's not!

Can I just tell you that I had a visit from this beloved "friend" today when I was waking up before 6:00am to go to the gym.  He was telling me that I didn't get enough sleep last night and I should stay in bed, I thought about it and then I chose...I chose to get my lazyness out of bed and head to the gym.  I take this little "friend" one day at a time and today I told him to take his advice and shove it!  One thing I will never forget is the Dean of my school telling us at orientation that "A year is going to pass ethier way, so what are you going to do with it." 

My little endeavour is not quite a year but 40 days will go by with or without me accomplishing something. So lets accomplish something, it just might change my life you never know.  I bid you all farewell until tomorrow.

Warm Regards,
Candace
