We worship things, materials.
We worship other people.
We worship prophets and gods.
But
we don't worship ourselves.
If I could concretely believe in anything in my life it is me. I am the most sacred temple, the most robust vehicle; I am a creator of life; I am organic; And I am here, now.
The center of the universe has been pushed from the Earth into the Unknown, and we've been left wondering what deserves our most reverent attention. I am here to say that the center of the Universe is YOU. And you shouldn't feel guilty for making your most sacred thing yourself.
I am not taking away from religion or spirituality; nor am I attacking materialism or hedonism as being excitable approaches to living. But it is you that takes you to church, you who works 10 hours a day for a pay check, and you who heals others with care and love.
Growing up in a church environment I was taught to fight the impulsive cravings of my body. I was told not to wear shorts, cut-off sleeves, say certain words, told how to pray, what to say, I was controlled and convinced to look into the eyes of the preacher for the words of God. Essentially, my focus was awaiting the next order, the next instruction against my body. And as I lost grip of my body I also lost grip of my potential, and my freedom.
There is an underlining fear of freedom that exist in all of us. A small lapse of trust that hesitates our actions and gives second guess to our convictions. Combine this with low self-esteem and you become frozen and immovable. And you become a sheep eager to join the numbers of a herd.
Don't be a sheep, always looking over your shoulder for a wolf. Don't spend your time solely worshiping with the collective.
Worship yourself. Worship your freedom. Worship your potential.
And most importantly,
Worship your health.
And most importantly,
Worship your health.
