RABBIT: The word TRY is another word for fail. Trying leaves open justifications to fail. Why would we leave a justification to fail when we want something so badly? It seems self-defeating but it is really just a way to remain consistent with the comfortable way things are. I made a commitment to stop smoking yesterday but when I came to midnight of today, the day I said I would quit, I noticed how I left the loophole of time open so I could smoke until midnight this evening and still accomplish my goal but sadly this loophole was only a creative way to lie to myself and allow me to continue smoking. Even though I have a picture in my mind of me being free of cigarettes it still had backdoors that allowed me to escape from making the change.

My weight loss begins
Around 3-4 weeks ago when my fiance left me I decided to weigh myself. I was 109 kilograms, the heaviest I have ever been.
One of my goals on the Alpha Blade program is to lose weight, gain muscle, and become healthy again.
I am now achieving this goal. Over the past few weeks I have been trying to eat healthy again and started to do a little bit of exercise. So far I have lost 6.1 kilograms and I weigh 102.9 kilograms.
My goal weight is around 80kg lean or 87kg with good muscle definition. With my focus in the Alpha Blade mindset I know I can achieve this goal.

The Optimist's Creed
Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, and expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Meditation for focusing
I began meditating last week for relaxation and focusing. I have only been meditating for 30 minutes a day but already it is making me feel like a new person.
From today I have also started meditating while also saying the Alpha Blade Mantra "I am eternal and infinite, Loving and strong, I am perfect in all ways, I am the creator of my universe".
This has given me one of the best feelings of meditation so far and is giving me an even more positive outlook on the future.
I will post more of my journey soon.

I am what you say I am
RABBIT: I have always believed that the only way a person could mentally diagnose another person is by being in the same mental state as the patient. Now, even if a doctor is a person suffering with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) [or any other mental illness] and treats a patient with the same diagnosis there is still a major flaw in determining diagnosis because an original diagnosis would have had to be made on the doctor before he could deem himself an obsessive compulsive and that diagnosis was from another doctor. The loop is endless in a game of "who came first? the chicken or the egg?" but this story comes with a lesson.

Yesterday and Today
FOX Yesterday: Just over a year ago I had everything I wanted. I had a good high paying job, I had the girl of my dreams, I had my health, and I was in a very happy place with everything(or so i thought).
FOX TODAY: All of a sudden I got hit with "depression". I don't know how it came about but I felt like I was losing my mind and going insane for no reason at all. The doctors first prescribed me Lexapro for the depression and at first I thought "yes, this is working, i'm fine" etc. However my depression actually became worse and my anxiety increased greatly.
RABBIT Always: I went from one moment to the next in these paragraphs and I will able to see only a very short space. I realized that you could have been referring to a span of 2 days or 2 decades. My point is that once we take time completely out of the equation we are left with a very short, or long, distance between two points.

The Rabbit's Nose
"FOX: "Just over a year ago I had everything I wanted. I had a good high paying job, I had the girl of my dreams, I had my health, and I was in a very happy place with everything(or so i thought)."
RABBIT: Time is a very strange thing, in one moments we see a beautiful picture and the next time we look it appears ugly. Success would be only a reflection of making each moment as close to the original moment of perfection we have perceived in experience. "
