Quote of the Week: Choice vs. Chance

By admin

In my last post, I indulged in every possible craving I had in LA. Actually, it didn’t start there, it probably started during the last week I was in KL because I love Malaysian food, and then it continued in Vancouver because it had been over a year since I visited my hometown. Which then led to a feast of bites in Toronto before I flew off to Beijing. So you get the idea…
I didn’t have a cheat day, I didn’t stop at a cheat week, I carried on and had cheat month. So now I have to pay for it. šŸ™
choice
So I found a fantastic quote from a trainer and I found this so apt!

Live by choice, not by chance, to make changes, not excuses, to be motivated, not manipulated, to be useful, not used. Choose self esteem, not pity. Choose to listen to your inner voice, not the random opinion of other. Sometimes we get lost of who we are are because of other people in our lives. It can happen so fast sometimes you don’t even know where the slide all began. You compromise yourself and do things that are not genuine or a reflection of the real you. You’ll be confused because you won’t know whom to please, or how and will hurt your self esteem. Be who you are! Have the courage to accept yourself as you really are, not as as someone else thinks you should be. Do not take action or pretend to be someone else for the sake of gaining acceptance.

I think pertains not just to exercise but to life. Time to take your pride in yourself and aim high!

    I haven’t shared much of my experience at @inner I haven’t shared much of my experience at @innercamp’s Bali retreat and what it did for me as I was entering a new decade. 

Alexis and Luisa were such amazing facilitators that walked all us through workshops that gave us tools to work on the parts of us that needed to be felt. The late night talks and camaraderie about our life path and the intersection in which we participants have found each other has been nothing short of magic. 

Cuddle parties, a yoga shala of moaning, circle of love, tunnel of love, shamanic journeys and visions of past and present will be part of my core memories forever. 

It’s hard to forget those whom you’ve cried and laughed with for an entire week. I am still in awe.

    My kindred spirits since I moved to Malaysia, thos My kindred spirits since I moved to Malaysia, those who I’ve journeyed with throughout the 15 years (on/off) I’ve spent here. The memories you guys shared and the impressions of me were spot on. I’ve felt safe to reveal myself to all of you and have learnt so much from each and everyone of you through your patience, kindness and compassion. One does not grow if one does not learn. 

Thank you for allowing me to be me all these years and giving me the opportunity to send love your way in the way I know how. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
