They kill us
Eventually they kill us
You know why
We get too competitive
Drug: anything used to enhance physical or mental well-being
Actors aren't so different from athletes aren't so different from us
Bodies judged constantly
Actions judged constantly
Just one pill to help
Just 5 more workouts today
Just one more drink
Just one more inhale
Just one more bite
The goal forgotten
Whatever goes into our bodies that makes us feel good
We, the overindulgent
We, the puppet
We, our ancestors
We kill ourselves
Sad
A shorter life is not the goal- too easy
Don't become too competitive
YOU WILL GET HURT
You will overtrain
You will burnout
You will fracture yourself
You will hurt others
You will give up
You will die
There are days of rest set out for us
This was a gift from God that our ancestors saw as good
Don't resist it.
Don't overtrain
Don't overeat
Don't overdose
Don't overwork
Listen to the advice of those that lived long
To those that lived hard
To those that took rest
To those who never became too competitive
Set you goal
Keep your eyes on it
Monitor it
Listen
Breathe
Love
Then remember your goal
Monitor it
Listen
Breathe
Love
If you monitor you know when to back off
If you listen you know who is truth versus the jealous hate
If you breathe you rest
If you love you remember the goal
If the goal was a shorter life
Why not day one?
Thank you
-because I become too competitive
