DTP - Day 1 of 28

I started a new program today. My goal is to completely transform myself, both physically and mentally in hopes of attaining some sort of enlightenment in regards to life.

By applying what I learn in the gym (via discipline and hard work) to real life applications such as school, work and relationships, I'm absolutely positive I will be able to make a difference for the better.

Anyways,  here are some shots of my recent food purchases + how tiny I look right now. (I'm posting from my phone so I can't edit the order of pictures/add in captions.)

Push it to the limit!

Determination

"It is one thing to idolize heroes. It is quite another to visualize yourself in their place. When I saw great people, I said to myself : "I can be there""

- Arnold Schwarzenegger

Fate..

“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.

And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.


And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
