I find this forum is a fantastic place - everyone here has a common goal - everyone is focused on improving themselves and becoming a better person - and the very best part is that everyone genuinely wants to see other people succeed - we are all eachothers inspiration and we all support and encourage eachother with full conviction... Wouldnt the world be a far better place if it was just like minimins?
Most of us where one of those scuffy miserable people at one time. Thankfully something inside each of us made a decision to take a new path and live a healthier lifestyle and make the most of the one body we will ever have.
Everyone here is so supportive of eachother but many people in the world are jealous of other peoples achievements, want to see other people fall, make excuses not to better themselves because they say life is for living, but they miss the whole point of life, the whole point of life is to live the best life you can and become the best person you can.... if you arent growing, then you are dying... it is the natural way life works... all those miserable people you see walking around probably have no goals and dont look forward to the future with excitement and anticipation about what lies before them and they have little or no real sense of achievement.... they are focused on the next quick fix, the food, alcohol, drugs, etc...
Its the cliche saying but discipline truly does equal freedom. If you have no self discipline and your focus is only on short term pleasure then you are trapping yourself in a life of frustration and long term dispair... it takes determination and strength to break the old habits and start down a road to live a better life... some people can make that step - we did! - some people just dont seem to have found the inspiration or have felt the desperation to do it...
