I am a Work of Art

I enrolled in the gym last Friday It is my first time to be a member of a a gym since 2005. It felt great to know that I will once again discipline myself to exercise and try to keep my health in check.


For so long I did not prioritize enrolling in a gym because it cost too much. I always convinced myself that I would just take long walks, take the stairs and eat properly to keep myself healthy. Of course, even when I did all those things religiously, I still felt lethargic at times. After all, I was lifting weights for 3 straight years when I decided to stop.


What made me come back was not an improved financial situation but rather by a philosophy I realized just a few days back. It dawned on me that I am a work of art (in progress). Being a work of art means that I should be willing to invest in things that would inevitably support my improvement. :)


Being a work of art also means that I should only choose to be in environments and situations and be in the company of people whom will help up my appreciation value. That is a more difficult decision. But one that has to be made.

    Moi Mummo,

    I hate being so far away from you. Once in a while I read your mysterious blog postings that leave me dumb-founded of what's going on in your head. You better book time for our third common beer session. :) I need to get back on track what's in between those ears.

    Miss you,

    Tomi
