Devotion Drug

Ambitions. Goals. Intentions.



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
